3
Q

Define “Peer Review”

4
Q

What is Evidence Based Practice?

A

Integration of research evidence and clinical expertise

Q

Why EBP?

A
  • Textbooks usually do not contain the latest information
  • Clinical improvements are constantly changing
  • equip ourselves with the latest and most clinically relevant evidence
  • Overcome limitations
