The Colorado School of Public Health is in process of negotiating a contract for the 12th Rocky Mountain Workshop on How to Practice Evidence-Based Health Care
Please contact Jen McIntyre Stachelski for futher details.

Funded in part by a grant from AHRQ, this five-day workshop will focus on teaching the basics of, and developing further insights into, the conscientious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients or the delivery of health services.

The practical strategies taught at the EBHC Workshop have been developed over the past three decades by clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health economists and others working together to combine basic scientific principles with common sense. Our workshop faculty includes leading evidence-based health care researchers and educators. Past participants have included physicians, nurses, policy makers, physical therapists, medical librarians, health care journalists, health care consumer advocates and educators.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

- Formulate questions arising from their own health care practice that can be answered
- Identify relevant evidence that can be used to answer questions and make well-informed clinical decisions
- Critically appraise the validity and applicability of evidence
- Use valid and applicable evidence to make well-informed health care decisions
