A free, online and self-administered course to strengthen health decision-making based on the best scientific evidence available.

Making healthcare decisions requires integrating professional experience, people’s needs and reliable scientific evidence.
Evidence-Based Practice (PBE) allows you to convert the search, reading and interpretation of scientific information into a concrete tool for clinical practice, academic training and professional exercise.
This introductory course offers a clear and accessible route through the principles and fundamental steps of EBP, providing tools to identify reliable sources, understand the hierarchy of evidence, and apply scientific knowledge in everyday decision-making.
