University of Southern California

University of Southern California will develop, execute, and evaluate a 4-day workshop that will train 15 Southern California biomedical researchers on how to conduct thorough and efficient systematic reviews in order to improve patient health outcomes. After testing the workshop curriculum and evaluating the learning outcomes for the initial group of 15 participants, the workshop curriculum will be refined and plans will be developed for a regional Western U.S. or national systematic review workshop that will share library-based expertise in the area of systematic review with biomedical researchers and clinicians on a larger scale.
