- how to navigate the ADA EBD website to find critical summaries of systematic reviews.
The course is limited to 30 participants and the deadline for applications is Sept. 1. All interested candidates are asked to fill out an online questionnaire that may be accessed at http://ebd.ada.org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling admission process and all accepted applicants will be notified no later than Sept. 1.
