-A thorough, comprehensive and clinician-friendly evidence-based medicine toolkit

-Why framing the right question is so important

-How to find and distinguish between strong and weak evidence

-What's needed to critically appraise the best evidence

-How to weigh the risks and benefits that precede medical management decisions
