Other good contact is Khalid Khan and his team at Birmingham University in England who were part of a group that developed an online modular system around EBM. They have published a RCT
reporting use and when located I will send a link! Also Rod Jackson in Auckland has excellent resources around critical appraisal. Resources on CEBM website really helpful too. I think the key is to ensure an application focus rather than just developing critical appraisal skills; also important to include clinical guidelines which are often not included in such courses.
Good luck.

I have received a
grant to develop an online EBM course for my medical school associate. I would like input from the group on what features a course like this should have that is not present on existing websites that you have seen. My plan is for lots of interactivity between learner and material and incorporation of social media. Also incorporating video of expert clinicians applying data as a demo to students of how to incorporate and not just focus on critical appraisal.
Audience: primary 2nd to 3rd yr med students but with plan to open up to residents and practicing MDs also
