Dear All,
Do you have suggestions about the curriculum for EBM? The forthcoming
Sicily EBHC conference (28-31 Nov) will include afternoon discussions of
the EBM curriculum. The Sicily Statement on the Curriculum for
evidence-based practice arose out of the first Sicily meetings.
We are planning to revise and extend the statement, and would appreciate
suggestions and help.
Some questions we have:
1. Do you have any comments on the current statement?
(It is free to download at: <http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6920/5/1> ).
2. What's missing? The current Sicily statement is a set of objectives
structured around the 4 steps of EBM (ask a question; search; appraise;
and apply the evidence). Is that sufficient or are there other vital topics?
3. Process and Evaluation. The current Sicily statement says little
about 2 other components of curriculum: (i) How do we organise
learning? (ii) How well are we achieving our aims?
Do you have suggestions regarding these? For example, how should the EBM
curriculum be organised across the years of the course?
4. Do you have other suggestions about process, publication, lobbying, etc?
5. Do you have examples of EBM curricula that you can forward to us? Or
examples of use of the current Sicily Statement?
We will post progress to the EBHC email list after the conference, and
would welcome contributions,
Best Wishes
Paul Glasziou
