 mons?\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nClinical practice guidelines are 
 almost universally lauded for their beneficial effects on health outcomes.

 olutions are also discussed.\n\nOBJECTIVES:\n\n\n	Explore biases that may o
 ccur in “high quality” RCTs\n	Explore biases that may influence the guideli
 ne process\n	Explore ways to improve the guideline process\n\n\nBIO:\n\nJay
