Repository of Electronic Critically Appraised Papers

The purpose of ReCAP (Repository of Electronic Critically Appraised Papers) is to provide a forum for the geriatrics, geriatric-palliative care and palliative care fellows and faculty where they can discuss the practice of evidence-based medicine in a systematic way, and hone their skills of clinical decision-making by critically examining evidence presented in recent clinical research papers.
