Online Learning Module: Introduction to Evidence-Informed Decision Making
The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) has created a self-paced online learning module on Evidence-Informed Decision Making in Public Health. The module provides in-depth training on how to implement EIPH using a realistic scenario as a model. Participants interested in professional development, and who take the pre- and post-module assessments, will earn a certificate of completion. The learning module provides a practical introduction for EIPH novices as well as a great refresher for past EIPH workshop participants who want to brush up on their skills or share the information with colleagues.
