PICO workshop
Searching for clinical questions, also known as ‘PICOs’ or ‘CATs’, isn’t easy, especially when evidence based medicine (EBM) demands of you that you retrieve the best currently available evidence. In this course we will show you a way of searching which enables you to perform a thorough search in a reasonable amount of time and with the most efficiency. This format includes a good search report and provides a good base for finding the right evidence for your customers. Key-elements in PICOs are: formulating a good clinical question, getting the background, searching systematically, selecting studies and critical appraisal of those studies. The searching part is the natural habitat of the librarian.

	Biography Hans Ket is a medical information specialist at the Medical Library of the VU University in Amsterdam. He is in this job for more than seven years now. Before that he had several library-related jobs and was also a nurse-in-training. In the past years he's done hundreds of PICOs in cooperation with doctors from the Pediatric, Gynaecology/Obstetrics/Fertility, Internal Medicine and other departments. He does the searching together with the doctors. They provide the background and together they find the relevant terms and decide on the appropriate sources (PubMed, Embase, Google, guidelines, UpToDate, and others). By doing the search together he can take care of the efficiency and quality of the search. He also provides the doctors with a report of the search, containing the search terms, sources used, search history and retrieved items. This report is used in the presentation of the PICO to the staff to show that a thorough search has been done. Missed references can be explained and a reasonable amount of certainty is reached. Marion and Hans are both also teachers of courses in expert searching in Pubmed for  medical librarians.
	Marion Heijmans after qualifying in 1982,  held a number of librarian positions in several institutions. Since 1991 she workis in medical libraries and currently as head of the medical library of Orbis Medical Centre, Sittard, The Netherlands. She is a member of the Continuing Education Committee of the national BioMedical Information group and participates in two studygroups: CCZ consortium (Central Catalogue for Hospital Libraries) and the Dutch NLM classification system. As part of the continuing education programme for doctors at Orbis Medisch Centrum, the training from the medical library has become a permanent issue. It started with general trainings for the digital library. Next there was demand for training in literature research and we have developed Pubmed workshops. Until recently they offer PICO-courses, which are part of the education programme for Evidence Based Medicine.
