Hailey Auve E-Portfolio - STAT 2010- Principles of evidence informed practice

Course Purpose and Overview

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of research literacy and evidence-informed practice. An evidence-informed practice framework facilitates shared-decision making, advances informed choice, and improves client-centered midwifery care. Also called “evidence-based practice” or “evidence-based care or medicine”, an evidence-informed practice (EIP) framework rests in the triad intersection between the best available research with your professional expertise as the midwife alongside the client’s individual values, needs, and context. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped with the basic conceptual and practical skills necessary to enact evidence-informed practice frameworks as Midwives of Excellence.
