I recently finished an excellent online course from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Cochrane Collaboration titled Understanding Evidence-based Healthcare: A Foundation for Action. It talks about how to find a well-grounded answer to medicine-related questions and walks through using PubMed, reading, and understanding journal articles. It also talks about study design, biases, difference between specificity and sensitivity, and more.

Even if you've already gone through the Sequences, it's really helpful to see how the ideas can be applied.

I recommend tackling 1 module per session rather than doing 1 video per session to save time.
