About the Event
FAST Evidence begins with a half‐day, interactive course that teaches physicians how to conduct effective internet searches in order to find credible and evidence‐based medical information from a variety of databases and online sources. Designed for a small group of up to 12 learners, the course is facilitated by two College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC Librarians who provide learners with hands‐on support in a computer lab setting. To support ongoing learning and application, this program also involves post-program activities, including reflection and coaching sessions following the live workshop.
