Program Overview

Faced with a torrent of clinical information, practitioners must develop effective and efficient ways to access and evaluate useful content. This highly interactive program presents practical and user-friendly methods for gaining control of medical information at the point of care from the Web, hand-held computers (PDAs), and other expert sources.

Previous workshops have been attended by thousands of clinicians from all specialties and health care disciplines in the United States, Canada, England, Israel, Spain, Wales and Saudi Arabia. Participants have learned ways to increase their confidence in medical practice, prepare for the new maintenance of certification process, and increase efficiency in getting clinically relevant, valid information.

Who Should Attend

Physicians and other health care professionals engaged in direct patient care and in teaching other clinicians. This workshop is aimed at clinicians and educators who:

  • Want to know how to use evidence-based techniques in a practical way to help them do their job.

  • Want to learn how to select and use the best information tools available.

  • Want to teach others how to deliver care using effective techniques and the highest quality information.
