Critical appraisal of scientific / medical articles Workshop

Critical appraisal of scientific / medical articles is the process of carefully and systematically examining clinical research papers to judge its trustworthiness; and its value and relevance in a particular context. It is an essential skill for Evidence Based Medicine because it allows clinicians to find if a study addresses a clearly focused question; uses valid methods to address the question; provides valid results which are applicable to patients or population; and thus use research evidence reliably and efficiently.
