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")

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.
