Evidence-Informed Practice: Research Literacy & Shared Decision-Making

February 16, 2017

This webinar qualifies for the NARM Category 3 Bridge Certificate

How do you find the best available clinical guidance? How do you engage clients effectively in shared decisionmaking?

Dr. Courtney Everson, PhD, introduced midwives to the basics of research literacy, critical appraisal of the literature, and applying research to midwifery care. Evidence-informed practice (EIP) resides at the intersection of the best available research, the midwife’s professional expertise, and the client’s individual values, needs, and context.  Learn how to integrate research effectively into midwifery practice using the EIP framework! 

Courtney is a Medical Anthropologist and Dean of Graduate Studies at Midwives College of Utah, where she teaches a full two-credit online course on the Principles of Evidence-Informed Practice which is available to non-students through their continuing education program. She is Director of Research Education for the MANA Division of Research, a member of the MEAC Board of Directors, and Research Working Group member of the Academic Collaborative for Integrative Health.
