DI Consultation

  1. Check the scenario for your DI Consultation and define the ultimate question. (I attached the audio that has the question in it that is called Simvastatin for MS). 2. Develop your systematic search methodology by thinking about the type of evidence you need to answer the question. Once you’ve decided on the resources you will search, your search terms, your search filters/limits, and your inclusion/exclusion criteria, you are ready for the next step. (I attached a methodology example) 3. Search for articles. Remember that your response is an evidence-based drug information consultation. That means that you will search systematically in order to find the best evidence available for answering your question. The best evidence is not limited to what you can find on Google alone or to what is available for free online. The best evidence is not always the most convenient evidence. You will definitely need to search for primary literature using PubMed and Google Scholar.
