Elective Title: 93GO840 — COCHRANE WORKSHOP
Description:
Students will work with the Cochrane US Satellite of the Pregnancy and Childbirth Group (US-PCG) and will learn about the Cochrane Collaboration and the process involved in Cochrane Reviews and evidence synthesis. Not only will students gain skills with the processes and execution of a Cochrane Review, they will also gain skills allowing them to teach back these methods during an annual Cochrane Workshop. It is expected that the student will likely be involved enough to merit authorship on a Cochrane Review.
