This collection of 27 presentations was developed for instructors needing materials to teach clinical researchers and students about the science of systematic reviews, or for EPC directors to use in mentoring and teaching new investigators to the team. The presentations and quizzes are based on the Methods Guide for Effectiveness and Comparative Effectiveness Reviews and other resources. These presentations are also configured as self-study materials (CME/CE) and can be accessed on the CME/CE Activities page.
