Hi to all

A quick and perhaps difficult to answer question

I am writting for a local journal about a recent work of mine about the residents preferences to answer clinical questions. In my work residents preferred as the first choice the internet and different databases to answer clinical questions during their clinical work, but the second choice was different among two groups, one preferred the regular texbook (on paper, and sometimes translated to spanish) and the other group preferred their tutors and senior residents

I have found no evidence whether one is better than the other (textbooks vs expert/tutors/senior-clinicians)

Any thoughts? any evidence?

I think the answer may depend on the individual case / question


PS.- The two groups are those who attend vs those who do not attend to Journal Clubs


Kind regards
