Navigating the complex world of medical databases can be daunting. Whether you’re a researcher, student, or healthcare professional, mastering these essential skills is crucial. Our group training sessions are designed to demystify the process and empower you with the knowledge to efficiently find the information you need.
Collaborative Learning Environment
Group training sessions foster a collaborative learning environment where participants can share insights, ask questions, and learn from each other’s experiences.
Expert Guidance
Our sessions are led by George Burchell, an expert in medical literature search and systematic literature review design. With over five years of experience and numerous publications, George provides practical insights and expert advice.
Interactive and Hands-On
These training sessions are interactive, with hands-on exercises that allow you to apply what you’ve learned in real time. You’ll receive immediate feedback and guidance to refine your skills.
Intensity
These group sessions are intense and we cram a lot into 3 hours. If you would prefer a slower, at-your-own-pace sort of teaching, I would recommend to sign up to the online course instead.
