Critical Appraisal Training in Beautiful Portland, Oregon
Last year, we filled up and had to turn people away! This year, people are
already starting the registration process so they don't miss out. Join us
in beautiful, wonderfilled Portland, Oregon. If you aren't familiar with
our wonderful little city, why not come here and see what all the fuss is
about?
Come join us for our Critical Appraisal Training Seminar: July 8 & 9,
2015. Spend a couple of meaningful, interesting and satisfying days with
us, getting some of the best practical training there is in critical
appraisal of the medical literature. Dynamic, case-based and now improved
for those who need a little more linearity too—we are always working to
improve our methods and tools. People rate our training programs 4.8 out
of 5.0 points. You will not be bored, and you won't be tortured with
intense statistics or things you don't need to know about. Just the right
stuff in simplified language and pictures along with useful 1-page topic
cheat sheets. See Seminars at the menu on our website: www.delfini.org
Along with DynaMed editorial colleagues, a paper of ours was published in
the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine and was selected as the top
story of that week by BMJ's Minerva. See What's New at the Delfini website
menu.

Books
We are hard at work on a new book, The Patient’s Guide To Making Informed
Medical Decisions:
Insights & Advice For Navigating The Challenging Terrain Of Medical
Information. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, we continue to hear that people are helped by our other
two books:
Basics for Evaluating Medical Research Studies: A Simplified Approach—And
Why Your Patients Need You To Know This. (Many have told us this is the
best book they have found on critical appraisal basics.)
EBM Guide For Scientists to Sales Reps—Medical Evidence in the World of
Payers & Health Care Systems: A Handbook For Industry to Better
Understand, Communicate and Navigate These Worlds. (Our industry
colleagues have said this is very helpful to them. We were also surprised
and pleased to learn that payers and health systems staff have found this
book very useful, as well.)
See Books or Delfini Group Publishing at our website.
We Aim To Serve
We do onsite trainings, facilitate clinical guideline projects, do
evidence reviews for various purposes such as monographs, technology
assessments, etc., and much, much more. See Services at our website or
