The US Network is dedicated to promoting evidence-based decision-making in healthcare and public health nationwide. It plays a key role in increasing awareness of Cochrane and its evidence, supporting the creation of high-quality systematic reviews, and strategically disseminating these findings. Additionally, the network encourages the use of Cochrane evidence among patients, caregivers, clinicians, healthcare systems, guideline developers, and policymakers.
Cochrane’s strength lies in its global, collaborative community. Cochrane Geographic Groups represent Cochrane within their respective countries, advocating for the application of Cochrane evidence in health policy and practice, while also supporting Cochrane's members and supporters. Here, we highlight the impact of an affiliate center of the Cochrane US Network, based at Tufts University in Massachusetts, USA.
Cochrane US at Tufts has a strategic plan that includes awareness initiatives, systematic review training, and collaborations with institutions like the World Health Organization, Indiana University, and Ohio State University.
The Tufts team regularly conducts author training seminars both within the US and internationally. The Tufts Systematic Review Course, accredited by CEPH, offers vital training to medical professionals and postgraduate students on how to perform high-quality systematic reviews.
They are excited to announce their upcoming Standard Author Training, scheduled for November 6th, 13th, and 20th, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST.
This training will be available to both national and international participants via Zoom.
