New Partnership between Evidence Based Reviews in Surgery and UNITAR

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and Evidence Based Reviews in Surgery (EBRS), signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

EBRS is an online “journal club” which conducts monthly reviews of important surgical research papers.  The goal is to foster critical appraisal skills in practicing surgeons and trainees in order that they may evaluate surgical literature and practice Evidence Based Surgery.

Every month, a “virtual” journal club is offered, during which expert panelists lead the online discussion of the evaluation of articles focused on treatment effectiveness, causation, risk factors, prognosis, diagnostic tests and practice guidelines.

At the conclusion of each EBRS module, EBRS members will ideally enhance their knowledge and skills to critically appraise the surgical literature.

The Canadian Association of General Surgeons approves EBRS as an accredited group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
