Summary

Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard in clinical research and form the cornerstone of medical decision-making. Not all clinical trials - and consequently the health claims, products, and guidelines they inform, maintain the same level of reliability. Some trials yield robust, compelling evidence, while others are marred by preventable flaws and missteps. 


In this webinar, Dr. Regina Nuzzo and Dr. Kristin Sainani will delve into case studies of real trials and discuss what they did well, what they got wrong, and how they could have been better. By discussing thought-provoking, real-world examples, Drs. Nuzzo and Sainani will identify the crucial aspects of a clinical trial that every researcher should know. Don't miss out on this opportuntiy to gain a deeper understanding of how to evaluate medical evidence through clinical trials.


You Will:
  • Learn best practices for designing, conducting, and analyzing randomized controlled trials in evidence-based medicine
  • Recognize common pitfalls in randomized controlled trials and how to avoid them
  • Gain tools for critically evaluating randomized controlled trials and the health claims, products, and guidelines they support
  • Item 4
