Course Description:

Learn from Prof. Gordon Guyatt himself, the Co-Chair of the GRADE Working Group, and other Experts.

The GRADE(Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach was developed by the GRADE Working Group, a collaboration of methodologists, guideline developers, clinicians, and other interested members, as a common, transparent, and sensible method of grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations in guidelines. This approach is being used by many international organizations to produce rigorous and transparent clinical practice guidelines and other health care recommendations.

This workshop will help you become familiar with GRADE methodology and understand EBM concepts. It will facilitate the understanding of the basic principles of guideline methodology, including how to critically appraise the evidence, grade the quality of the evidence, and move from evidence to recommendations by using GRADE methods.
