TITLE: "Evidence-Based 'Mal'-Practice: Use and Misuse of the EBP Paradigm in Clinical Settings"
Presenter: Russell Kirby, PhD, MS, FACE

- Describe the basic principles for evaluating clinical research in the areas of randomized controlled clinical trials, outcomes research, and health services research.
- Describe the concept of evidence-based practice and its application with specific examples.
