NIeCer 104: Introduction to Systematic Reviews for Dental Health Professionals

ABOUT:This course is part of the series of courses on health research offered by ICMR-NIE. Systematic reviews, as a method of conducting research synthesis, are becoming common. They provide much needed evidence in areas which lack a concrete consensus and are considered cornerstones of forming practice and policy guidelines. This course was born out of the need felt among dental health professionals across the country to understand the basic principles of conducting a systematic review. Over the course of our lectures, the participants will be able to grasp the most essential steps and understand the various activities involved while carrying out a systematic review. We expect the course to be useful to dental health professionals who have minimal to no exposure to systematic reviews.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Any dental health researcherINDUSTRY SUPPORT:Government/ private sector, public health service institutions/ agencies, Post graduate institutions in biomedical and allied sciences, Dental colleges / Universities, NGOs engaged in health research, Clinical research organizations, Pharma companies and marketing research organizations
