Three 2-day short courses under the banner of Making Decisions in Clinical Practice are offered by The University of Sydney, School of Public Health. (Note: These short courses are independent of each other, so attendees can choose which subject area is more relevant)

The first short course is Using Evidence in Decision-making<http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/public-health/study/study-program/professional-development/using-evidence-in-decision-making.php> which provides attendees with an overview of current approaches to making decisions in clinical practice in terms of evidence-based medicine. Attendees will explore clinical guideline development and learn how to conduct a rapid review for a specific clinical question involving an appraisal of literature using the GRADE Approach and develop a summary of findings table.
  2.  The second short course is Shared Decision Making Tools<http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/public-health/study/study-program/professional-development/decision-making-tools.php> which provides attendees with an overview of current approaches to making decisions in clinical practice in terms of decision-making tools (clinical/health professional focussed).

Attendees will also explore the International Patient Decision Aids Standards and develop a decision tool relevant for clinical practice (or similar).
  3.  The final short course is Health Literacy<http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/public-health/study/study-program/professional-development/health-literacy.php> which provides attendees with an overview of current approaches to making decisions in clinical practice in terms of health literacy (consumer focussed).
