Where: Robarts Library, 4th Floor, Electronic Classroom **MUST HAVE T-CARD IN ORDER TO ACCESS ROBARTS LIBRARY**

When: September 17 10am-12pm

Who: MScOT Students 

Instructors: Erica Nekolaichuk, OT Librarian, UTSG | erica.lenton[at]utoronto.ca

Join us for an interactive workshop designed specifically for occupational therapy students working on scoping and systematic reviews. Come prepared with your research question and leave with a Medline search strategy! 

Through hands-on activities and guided practice, students will gain confidence in developing and executing robust search strategies that are critical for conducting high-quality systematic and scoping reviews. Participants will learn how to translate their research question into a search strategy using the PICO/PCC framework, construct comprehensive search strategies, and utilize databases such as Ovid Medline, Ebsco CINAHL, and ProQuest Sociological Abstracts. 

By the end of this workshop, attendees will have a stronger understanding of their search question, a Medline database strategy, and the methodological guidance they need to move forward with their review.
