Every physician needs to know how to interpret the evidence on a heath topic but methods for how to conduct research studies properly, especially systematic reviews with meta- analyses is not well understood by any health care provider.

This talk will help rural physicians interpret p-values in any meta-analysis.

Systematic review with meta-analysis is the highest level of research, and understanding how this research is statistically significant (through p-value interpretation) is very important.
