Description & Objectives:
Join us for the first workshop in the ACADEMIA series, designed to give early-career professionals the tools they need to conduct rigorous and impactful research! This interactive online session, “Assessing the evidence: systematic reviews in transplantation“, will cover the essentials of systematic reviews — from formulating research questions to navigating the review process effectively.Keeping up with the expanding transplant literature is increasingly challenging. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses provide a method to evaluate the best evidence to address clinical questions in an unbiased fashion. In this interactive workshop, we will demonstrate the stages of a systematic review, explaining the methodology and potential pitfalls along the way.
