Evidence-Based Decision-Making Series
In these 30-minute micro courses, brush up on key evidence-based practice (EBP) concepts, discover free, time-saving ASHA EBP resources including ASHA’s Evidence Maps, and learn strategies for troubleshooting obstacles to incorporating external scientific evidence. Each course includes opportunities for you to sharpen your EBP skills through clinical scenario activities.
EBP Basics and Tools for Practicing Clinicians
Audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and assistants strive to provide client-centered, evidence-based care, but they may have questions: What is considered evidence-based practice? How do I make an evidence-based clinical decision? Are there tools for simplifying the EBP process? This course illuminates EBP concepts and guides you through clinical scenario activities while highlighting free, time-saving ASHA EBP resources and tools, such as ASHA’s EBP Toolkit. Learn new strategies and bolster your evidence-based decision-making skills.
This course is available for CE credit (ASHA CEUs or professional development hours) as part of the ASHA Learning Pass or for individual purchase.

ASHA's Evidence Maps
SLP’s and audiologists alike may struggle to implement evidence-based practice into their daily practice because they simply don’t have the time to keep up with a rapidly growing research base. ASHA’s Evidence Maps serve as a time saving, free, online tool that provide clinicians with a quick synopsis of synthesized research related to clinical practice. New and experienced users of the Evidence Maps will learn the ins and outs of features and navigation via a case study and guided practice, in order to better locate and assess relevant research evidence to integrate into clinical decision making.

Troubleshooting Common Obstacles to External Scientific Evidence
While clinicians may know the fundamentals of evidence-based practice (EBP), many struggle to implement EBP in real-world situations with their clients. Often, this is due to limited research, a lack of high-quality research, or the absence of a clear takeaway from external scientific literature. In this Micro Course, participants will learn more about these obstacles and will be guided through strategies to overcome them. Learning how to navigate these barriers will assist clinicians in making patient-centered and evidence-based clinical decisions.
