Rapid Evidence Synthesis: JBI Evidence Summary Workshop - October 2025

Introducing a new short course from JBI

The Rapid Evidence Synthesis: JBI Evidence Summary Workshop is a new three-day workshop tailored for clinicians, researchers, administrators, academics, managers, quality improvement personnel, students, and others interested in learning how to create a JBI Evidence Summary. 

What can participants expect?

This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to explore the pivotal role of evidence transfer in evidence-based practice and learn how clinical decision-support resources enhance decision-making and promote continuous quality improvement.  

Participants will gain hands-on experience with the principles of developing clinical decision support resources, specifically JBI evidence summaries published in the JBI EBP Database. Through comprehensive illustrations, expert guidance by trainers, and interactive activities, participants will immerse themselves in the JBI methodology for creating impactful resources. 

By the end of the program, participants will have a strong foundation in knowledge translation and be equipped to create resources that support evidence-based decision-making and drive positive change in clinical practice.
