Learning outcomes |
The Introduction to Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis course aims to equip students with the necessary tools to build a research team capable of conducting systematic reviews. Students are taught how to formulate a research question, apply the PICO criteria, conduct archival research, select relevant articles, build a database, and write the final manuscript. The practical work, which is subsequently assessed, allows for the application and consolidation of the acquired knowledge.
