  • Identify systematic reviews and distinguish them from other reviews

  • Recognize the breadth of resources required to execute a systematic review search

  • Develop a well formulated search question and structure a search, such as using the PICO format

  • Know how to apply appropriate date, language and publication type limits

  • Document a search in a standardized form

  • Understand the importance of peer-review of systematic review searches

  • Recognize the level of expert searching needed for a systematic review 

 

Participants are encouraged to bring search topics, but this is not required.
