Demystifying The Literature: An Introduction to Evidence-Based Medicine

This webinar was recorded live on June 27, 2024, by the National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE) in collaboration with Dr. Tyler McCardell.

Description: Have you ever found yourself wondering why a protocol has changed, a new medication has been introduced, or how to find a reliable answer to a clinical question? Even though research may seem boring at first glance, the reality is that it affects our clinical practice daily and can shape large-scale change in the medical community. This session will introduce EMS providers at all levels to the application of evidence-based medicine in the prehospital arena. We will discuss how to form a search question, find reliable sources, and interpret basic statistics. After just one hour, you can consult a journal article with confidence and apply your newfound knowledge to our dynamic field of EMS.
