The course aims to provide future medical professionals with theoretical and practical knowledge of the professional guidelines. Who develops professional guidelines and how are they developed? What makes the content of a guideline reliable? How can practitioners use and interpret the content of guidelines during implementation of evidence-based medical practice?
