Last week I was invited by a Nepalese colleague to do an introductory lecture on systematic reviews. We have conducting various training sessions over the years in Nepal (with BU Visiting Faculty Prof. Padam Simkhada) and in the UK. At Bournemouth University Prof. Vanora Hundley and I have conducted several two-day Master Classes over the past few years we are currently preparing for the next one in early
2016 (15-16 Feb.).
This morning I run this introductory session at Kantipur Dental College in Kathmandu. The session resulted in an interesting set of questions and comments from both staff and students.
