Evidence-Based Practice for the Busy Physiotherapist (or Clinician)

Overview:

Come learn a few tips and tricks from a physiotherapist filling his workdays with an equal share of clinic, research and teaching. The goal of this interactive session is to help the busy clinician to better understand research, and even to get involved in improving patient care.

Disclaimer: there will be quite a few pieces of practical advice for clinicians, and no theory that is too complicated after a full day in the clinic!

This webinar is brought to you by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA).
