Description
Prompt:
As a provider, using evidence-based practice is key. It is crucial to complete continuing education and stay up to date on all relevant information pertaining to the field. There are several ways a provider can stay up to date; conferences, journal subscriptions, and professional memberships are a few examples. However, it can be time consuming- and overwhelming- to keep up on current literature. The purpose of this assignment is to efficiently evaluate and locate reputable information.
