free online evidence based health care



Free online evidence-based health care course

The U.S. Cochrane Center at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg

School of Public Health is offering a free online course in

evidence-based health care. It's designed for consumers and consumer

advocates who need to be able to distinguish high-quality research

evidence from evidence that's not so reliable. The U.S. Cochrane

Center is part of the worldwide Collaboration, comprising some of the

world's gurus on evidence based medicine, and the course is taught by

breast-cancer survivor and patient advocate Musa Mayer, and was

co-developed by Kay Dickersin, Cochrane Center director.

A little quiz: I've attached the nifty logo of the Cochrane

Collaboration. Would anyone care to describe what it represents?

(Epidemiologists should hold back, at least for now.)
