Systematic Reviews Workshop

The systematic reviews workshop is designed to teach librarians how to plan, conduct, and communicate the results of a systematic review. 

We welcome health sciences librarians with intermediate literature searching experience. Participants are expected to be familiar with boolean operators, advanced search features, controlled vocabulary, and field tags.

This workshop is accredited for 20 Medical Library Association continuing education credits. 

Format and details

The systematic reviews workshop starts with an asynchronous online course in Canvas, followed by 2–3 days of live instruction.

  • The online Canvas course provides 10 online learning modules and activities designed to establish a foundation of the systemic reviews process, with topics relevant for health science librarians. You should expect to commit 8–10 hours total to this online component. 
  • Live instruction covers the key steps and processes of conducting systematic reviews through a combination of lectures, discussion, hands-on exercises, and group presentations. 

See more details about what you’ll learn and our approach for registration and fees.
