In this unit of study, we aim to introduce you to systematic reviews and meta-analyses of relevance to healthcare with a particular focus on systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials. Students can choose to learn in online or normal day (on-campus) mode. All students will work through online modules addressing the following topics at an introductory level: What and why systematic reviews; How to formulate answerable healthcare questions and searching for systematic reviews; how a systematic review is conducted and understanding the principles of meta-analysis; and how to appraise, interpret and apply the results of systematic reviews. Students will have the opportunity to discuss unit of study learning materials in online discussion boards or via weekly (on-campus) tutorials. Readings and other learning materials will be available via eLearning.
