Pharmacists, if they are to assume the role of ""medication expert"" must have the ability to evaluate the medical literature and use the results of this evaluation to make evidence-based patient care decisions. To do this, pharmacists will need to assimilate existing information, create and assimilate information or create new information. The disciplined approach that evidence-based practice requires will assure the highest quality of problem solving and decision making possible by the pharmacist for patients, consumers and other healthcare providers. This course provides students with tools to evaluate the literature in a critical manner. The student will learn how to integrate information from multiple sources to make more complex healthcare-related decisions. A key aspect of the course is to provide confidence and ability in assimilating existing information into recommendations/decisions. Less emphasis will be placed on the creating of new information. Throughout the course, the student will observe and participate in applying these tools for evidence-based practice to real pharmacy issues in order to make individual patient care and population-based decisions.
