Evidence is at the heart of systematic and scoping reviews. This is an interactive two-part class where attendees will learn about the multi-step process of developing a search strategy, applying the search to various sources, and generating documentation for the manuscript. In Part 1, we will cover PRISMA guidelines, search strategy development, and search techniques.
