Online Resources, Courses, and Training Programs Prepared by J. L. Forrest and S. A. Miller
DEPARTMENTS
There are several online resources for those who would like to learn more about evidence-based practice/health care, improve their knowledge of research methodology and statistics, and develop skills in each of the steps of evidence-based decision making. In addition, a range of course offerings and centers that have links to additional sites, including calendars or training agendas of workshop offerings, are provided. You may want to bookmark the Web sites you find particularly interesting because they are periodically updated with new course listings and dates.
