Affiliated Research Groups
Since its inception in 2003 the International Centre for Allied Health Evidence has been focused on taking the message of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Allied Health to the world. As the first centre of its kind, iCAHE has been a leader in providing mentorship for international groups looking to further their work in the areas of evidence-based allied health. A part of this significant process has been the establishment and mentoring of iCAHE affiliated research groups.

The Centre for Research on
Movement Science at the University of Santo Tomas
in the Philippines was the first iCAHE affiliated research group. The
improved data searching skills held now by most of the allied health staff
in the College of Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Santo Tomas, has
assisted the staff to gain access to a wider group of library databases in
the university than was available to them before, and to set the benchmarks
for research methodology for higher degree students across the graduate
school. The allied health staff and students now routinely conduct
systematic reviews of the relevant literature prior to undertaking any
research, and the undergraduate students work in groups to constructively
review the literature for training and clinical audit purposes.
