Apologies from a newbie (and non-expert)
I am currently involved in teaching a small component of EBM in our
preclinical course at St Andrews. We are going through a major curriculum
redesign and I want to develop this aspect of the course with a view to
beginning it in during the first week of the new curriculum and developing
the EBM theme over the next 3 years (pre-clinical students at St Andrews
will complete a 3 year Honours BSc in Medicine then proceed to Manchester
to complete their clinical training).
What I would like to do is expose the students to examples of excellent
RCT's, cohort studies, case studies etc and also to 'not so excellent'
studies if that were possible.
Does anyone have a list of favourite papers (spanning the quality range)
that they would recommend as an introduction to the scientific literature
for students just beginning their medical careers.
many thanks
jim
