The introductory Critical Appraisal Course for Residents is a mandatory course which must be completed by all residents at the University of Saskatchewan at some time during their residency. This course is part of the overall curriculum in the College of Medicine (2014), which aims to enable residents to access information efficiently, evaluate the quality of the evidence underlying information and then to apply it competently to their clinical practice. It is the expectation of the College of Medicine that all departments will augment this training with ongoing activities such as journal clubs.<\/p>\n

Design and Objectives<\/h1>\n

During this course we provide a series of interactive experiences focusing on three main objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To increase residents’ familiarity with pre-appraised sources of medical information and their benefits and drawbacks with the goal of facilitating more effective and efficient point of care management.<\/li>\n
  2. To briefly review foundational concepts of epidemiology and statistical analysis pertinent to the critical appraisal of the medical literature.<\/li>\n
  3. To apply critical appraisal techniques to the medical literature in a resident\u2019s area of specialization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These objectives will be met through a combination of interactive, online activities and small-group, in person discussions facilitated by experts in informatics, epidemiology & statistics and applied clinical practice (clinicians in the resident’s area of study).<\/p>\n
