Workshop

Description: Learning evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a key component of trainee education. However, the medical literature is clear that trainees report barriers and low confidence in several EBM domains and that didactic EBM training may not indicate improvement in knowledge or skill attainment. This leads many educators and trainees to feel under-confident in their EBM skills. This workshop will identify facilitators and barriers to EBM application in clinical settings, describe attributes of an EBM supportive learning environment, and engage attendees in hands-on practice with strategies to facilitate the teaching of EBM in various clinical settings.

This workshop will focus on how to identify and capitalize on educational opportunities in the context of clinical work where evidence can be applied directly to patient care. Workshop facilitators will review creative and engaging ways to incorporate EBM teaching on rounds that are applicable to teachers of varying EBM competence and confidence as well as various levels of learners. Attendees will be equipped with strategies to navigate commonly encountered barriers to just-in-time EBM teaching (e.g., time and clinical pressures, learning opportunities occurring on family-centered rounds) and will learn how to identify specific evidence-based resources that may be most beneficial in clinical scenarios. Participants will leave this workshop with a toolkit that includes methods for teaching EBM in clinical settings, a guide to point-of-care EBM resources, examples of individuals role modeling different strategies, and a personalized educational prescription for an intent to change practice.

Learning Objectives:

Identify facilitators and barriers to incorporating EBM education in clinical settings.
Describe attributes of a clinical learning environment that supports the incorporation of EBM education informed by adult learning theory best practices.
Practice various methods of incorporating EBM education into the clinical setting, with a focus on maximizing educational opportunities.
