JBI Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program - February 2026

About the workshop

The JBI Comprehensive Systematic Review Training Program (CSRTP) is a world-class program that equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to conduct robust systematic reviews across a range of evidence types.

You will explore the foundations of evidence-based healthcare and systematic reviews, develop an understanding of methodologies for quantitative, qualitative, and text or narrative evidence, and gain practical skills in literature searching, appraisal, and synthesis. You will also apply the JBI approach to develop a systematic review protocol while working closely with JBI experts in a supportive and interactive online environment.

What to expect

You will:

·         Develop a focused review question

·         Search for and manage relevant literature

·         Appraise and synthesise evidence

·         Produce high-quality protocols and reviews to inform clinical guidelines and decision-making in healthcare

·         Undertake your learning with a mix of theory and hands-on experience

By the conclusion of the program, participants will have a completed systematic review protocol and be ready to commence their review.

CSRTP can be undertaken as a one, three, or five-day program depending on your research needs and areas of interest.
