Eric P Newman Education Center (EPNEC)

This activity is designed for physicians, clinical researchers, and healthcare professionals and will be of particular interest to residents, fellows, medical students, and other healthcare professionals involved in clinical practice and research. This 6.5-hour course will provide education through keynote addresses, lectures, panel discussions, and interactive sessions. The activity will highlight best practices across critical appraisal methodology, clinical trial design, statistical analysis, data interpretation, and the responsible use of AI tools in medical literature evaluation.

The goal of this activity is to enhance knowledge of critical appraisal principles, skills in evaluating clinical research validity and applicability, performance in evidence-based clinical decision-making, and patient care through improved application of research findings to clinical practice.
