Clinical Colloquium in Evidence-Based Practice

The emphasis of this course is exposing novice trainees to the principles of Evidence Based Practice in preparation for beginning practicum. Through the presentation of real clinical case material, students will learn the skills to develop answerable clinical questions. These clinical questions will become "educational prescriptions” to be filled between class sessions. These activities will develop skills in quickly and accurately appraising the available evidence in the literature. Students will apply a hierarchy of research evidence and see first-hand the strengths and limitations of the evidence base in clinical psychology.
