Dear Prof. Attia
The graduate medical program (GMP) of the University of Sydney has a
comprehensive EBM teaching program that was introduced with the
problem-based curriculum a decade ago. A BMJ editorial in 2004 highlighted
this - http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/329/7473/989
In the GMP, EBM starts from the first year and runs through all four years
and in all themes of the GMP.
The PEARLS denoted by
P resentations of
E vidence
A bstracted from the
R esearch
L iterature for the
S olution
is the highlight of the program during the third year.
I am copying this to Dr. Martin Stockler who heads the EBM program in USYD
and Martin will be able to give more information.
Best regards
Kumara

Dear List Members,
We have just finished a faculty development program by conducting Basic and
Advanced EBM workshops for the faculty staff members (Faculty of Medicine -
Cairo University) and would like to extend our activity to integrate
evidence based medicine in the undergraduate curriculum.
I know that this is a hard way to go thus I would like to know your
experiences and what is the best way to do it?
My questions are:
- Do you have a curriculum that defines what to be taught to the 1st, 2nd,
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th year students?
- Should we arrange for workshops for the students or lectures, small group
assignments or tutorial classes and computer lab practice or what?
- Is there a web site or perhaps written material that you can send me or
refer me to?
I also would like to know the opinions of others even if they did not
integrate EBM in their undergraduate curricula.
Your help would be much appreciated.
