1931590), you will find examples of clinical problems and scenarios. The PICOT method is used to clearly define a specific clinical problem. This site shows you how to move from the clinical problem/scenario to a clinical question using a PICOT question. How would you summarize this process?

Write a PICOT question. After you have written your PICOT question, compare it with questions developed by other students (this can be done in a small group). Ask members of the group to identify the


P, I, C, O

, and


T


in your question, and do the same with the other questions. Select one PICOT question and see if the group can find a systematic review dealing with it. If you cannot find a systematic review, then discuss what this means. Identify PICOT questions for your clinical patients.
