I had the opportunity to complete a five-day intensive meta-analysis course at the University of Bern. This course provided a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted process of conducting a meta-analysis, from the formulation of research questions to the stages of publication. The meticulously structured course allowed for an in-depth understanding of each of the 24 steps, sequentially highlighting every detail that ensures a well-conducted meta-analysis. The course, in subsequent days, delved into the practicalities of data collection, extraction, and the essential task of evaluating study quality and bias. I found the segment discussing fixed effect and random effect models useful, though somewhat repetitively programmed on the fourth day. The final day of the course encapsulated the exploration of heterogeneity and publication bias, concluding with a discussion on the quality of evidence and the steps towards publication. This progression culminated in a well-rounded understanding of the complete process of meta-analysis. While the course was undoubtedly enriching, I found a need for more diversity in practical examples and case studies. This would have facilitated a more profound comprehension of the complexities involved in real-world scenarios. Nevertheless, the instructors were profoundly knowledgeable and provided a conducive learning environment, fostering intellectual curiosity and rigorous academic thought. In conclusion, the 24-steps meta-analysis course at the University of Bern is an excellent academic pursuit for those interested in rigorous research methodologies. I highly recommend it to fellow scholars and researchers aspiring to elevate their understanding and skills in the realm of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
