Navigating the IRB
In this session, you will look at a few situations involving human subject research and decide what type of IRB approval will be needed. You will also be introduced to other regulatory processes if you work in a laboratory setting or work with animals. Learning Goals Describe how to navigate the Washington State University’s Institutional […]

Critical analysis of a meta-analysis I
This session will reinforce the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curves. Today’s article is a Cochrane Review meta-analysis about rapid antigen–detection testing for group A streptococcus. You will also dive deeper into the process of assessing “the risk of bias” in studies and how those biases can impact a meta-analysis. Learning goals List the […]

Learning Goals Distinguish a systematic review from a meta-analysis Describe and explain the meaning of a hazard ratio in terms of prognosis as you would explain it to a patient Describe the Number Needed to Treat (NNT) and the Number Needed to Harm (NNH) and how they can be used in clinical medicine Distinguish a […]
Critical appraisal of a randomized controlled trial
In this journal club session, we will be appraising a recent article about empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2, found in the kidney’s proximal tubule. This drug is used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, recent evidence suggests that using SGLT2 inhibitors reduces the risk of hospitalization for patients with heart failure with or […]
