USA Health to Host Inaugural EBP Symposium

USA Health will host the inaugural evidence-based practice (EBP) symposium on Friday, Sept. 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Atlantis Room in the CWEB-2 building behind USA Children's & Women's Hospital.

The symposium, titled “EBP in Action,” is open to nurses and nursing students.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Linda Roussel, professor of nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Birmingham, Ala. She will discuss EBP, a problem-solving approach to clinical decision-making within a health care organization. EBP integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence.

The event is $20 for nurses and $12 for nursing students. Lunch is included. 5.7 contact hours will be available to those who attend.
