    Global HOPE LEARNING ACADEMY: Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice

    Welcome to the LEARNING ACADEMY, part of Global Hematology and Oncology Pediatric Excellence (HOPE) at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas. Global HOPE provides care to children with cancer and hematology disorders in Sub-Saharan Africa.  This multidisciplinary course is designed to teach the steps of the evidence-based review process and cultivate a spirit of inquiry. During the course, participants will craft a clinical question in PICOT format, develop a search strategy including relevant databases, critically appraise and synthesize the evidence, and translate those findings into practice. Students will learn to critically appraise and synthesize evidence for translation into practice.
