Cochrane Canada was again invited to speak to the dental hygiene students and staff at the Canadian National Institute of Health in Ottawa about Cochrane and its many resources.  When the students were polled at the beginning of the session, most of the thirty-three dental hygiene students had not heard about or used Cochrane Reviews or resources.

For more than 20 years, Cochrane has produced systematic reviews of primary research in human health care and health policy. We are internationally recognized as the highest standard in evidence-based healthcare resources.This video is the story of how a team of Cochrane researchers in Canada are helping to change practice in the treatment of a common, yet potentially fatal childhood viral infection.

Professor Dr Jeremy Grimshaw, Director of Cochrane Canada, has been named to Thomson Reuters' "World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds 2015" list. The list comprises 3,000 highly cited researchers, considered to be among the 'most influential scientific minds of our time'.
