Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice

The Department of Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) presents a 4-hour workshop focused on learning the fundamentals of evidence-based practice. Using the Stanford Children's Health EBP Model, you will learn an overview of the EBP process and how to apply it to a clinical situation.
