Yes, I think it is important at the pre-grade level. It would be nice for
students to have the EBM tools to evaluate material that is presented in
rounds and lectures.
The professors should use them or fear the risk of being perpetually asked
"what is your evidence for that".
In Family practice education in the US, we are seeing alot of POEMs model of
Slawson and Shauhgnessy, being taught. (At least in the Southeast US) The
advantage of their approach is that not every clincian need become a defacto
librarian or search expert, the clinician focuses on how to evaluate
sources of information, and then implementing useful material in the
clinical arena ("clinical jazz")

Subject: REGARD FROM PERÚ!
Dear Members List:
Thanks for your previous answers.
Now, I would like to know your opinion about the importance to teach E.B.M
to students of the schools of Medicine.
Is it important as a subject in the curriculum at the Pre-grade level?.
Should the Professors teach the courses using the instruments that E.B.M
preconize ?
I would like to know what is happening in your countries about it.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely.
Diana Rodriguez M.D.
