Interpreting Chinese Medical Research
There is a lot of research on acupuncture, herbs, and Chinese medicine. And more and more keeps being produced. This course will look at how to create a research question, develop criteria on assessing individual studies, as well as how and where to find those studies. There is a lot of really great research out there that can help us be better practitioners and communicators with our patients and their other caregivers. There is also a lot of poor research on the interwebs. This course will help determine which is which.
Course Goals
- Understand what makes one research paper stronger than another
- Develop criteria to assess the importance and relevance of research papers
- Identify a research paper’s level of evidence according to the Centre for Evidence-based Medicine
