Systematic reviews using meta-analyses are highly valued for comparative effectiveness research and evidence-based practice. This on-site institute provides a practical introduction to meta-analysis methods for learners who have previously completed multiple graduate-level statistics courses. Learners will experience the meta-analysis process during face-to-face interactions with experienced meta-analysts and leave the institute prepared to conduct a meta-analysis project.
Mission: To promote the continuing competency of Missouri’s nurses through relevant, responsive and reliable learning opportunities with a strong focus on incorporating the latest evidence into practice.
MUNO is in a privileged position to extend the educational resources of the School of Nursing to registered nurses in Missouri and beyond, given the land grant and research-intensive status of the University. Both alone, and in partnership with a number of organizations, MUNO provides face-to-face, web-based and telecommunicated educational programs for nurses and other health-care professionals including social workers, dietitians, nursing home administrators, physicians, psychologists, health educators, school counselors, addictions counselors, and health educators.
Participants’ overall ratings of MUNO’s educational programs are 1.1-1.4 (4-point scale with 1 being the highest).
Evaluation data are consistently very good to excellent in all areas, whether it be from participants, speakers, or planning committee members. Participants attending MUNO’s educational programs indicate the:
Participants rate the overall quality of their continuing education experience 1.1-1.4, using a 4 point scale with 1 being the highest.

In 2010-2011 nurses and other health care professionals from 79 (69 percent) of Missouri’s 114 counties and the city of St. Louis attended continuing education (CE) programs sponsored by Nursing Outreach. We serve a predominantly rural audience with nine out of every ten Missouri nurses residing outside the metropolitan St. Louis and Kansas City areas. In addition to Missouri counties, Nursing Outreach attracted participants from 12 other states.
Nursing Outreach provided professional development to 2,830 healthcare providers through its own educational activities which attracted 1,620 nurses and other healthcare professionals. Nursing Outreach provided CE credit to another 1,210 nurses attending CE programs offered by the School of Medicine.
Many of Nursing Outreach’s programs are multidisciplinary and are offered through cooperative relationships with such groups as the MU Health Care’s Center for Education and Development, Continuing Medical Education (CME), Office of Compliance and Quality, Center for Health Policy and Health Literacy Missouri.

Continuing Education Program on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Risk Reduction
Nurses play a critical role in communicating Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) risk-reduction techniques, especially in hospital settings. SIDS is one of the leading causes of infant death in the United States. Even though there’s no known way to prevent SIDS completely, there are actions parents and caregivers can take to significantly reduce their babies’ risk for SIDS.
The program is currently available free of charge. Nurses who successfully complete the course will earn 1.1 contact hours of continuing education credit from the Maryland Nurses Association, which is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center Commission on Accreditation as a continuing education provider.
Nurses can visit www.nichd.nih.gov/sidsnursesce/ to download the online CE program or call 1-800-505-CRIB (2742) to order a printed version.
