The 5 Step EBM Model • Formulate the question • Search for answers • Appraise the evidence • Apply the results • Assess the outcome
“Evidence-Based Capitulation” • Practicing clinicians are too busy to use all EBM steps will all patients • Increased focus on pithy clinical practice guidelines, synopses, and structured abstracts • ACP Journal Club • Cochrane database • “Up-to-date”
Pedagogy: How is EBM Taught? • Teaching EBP is about teaching a process – not just what tx have empirical support Journal clubs • Preceptorships/clinical supervision • Embedded throughout a curriculum • Role models demonstrate daily application
EBM: Top Lessons Learned • Buy-in from key stakeholders is essential for local adoption and national dissemination • EBM is a lifelong learning skill and not memorization of tx guidelines • Teaching should use active clinical cases with opportunities for practice and revision • The roles of clinical experience and patient values need to be emphasized often and integrated with best evidence
Mistakes when teaching EBM • Teaching EBM fails: • When learning how to do research is emphasised over how to use it • When learning how to do statistics is emphasised over how to interpret them • When teaching EBM is limited to finding flaws in published research • When teaching portrays EBM as substituting research evidence for, rather than adding it to clinical expertise, patient values and circumstances
