An interactive web-based curriculum on evidence-based medicine: design and effectiveness.
Medical education experts have called for improved training in evidence-based medicine (EBM) and the increased use of e-learning technologies in medical education. In response, we developed an interactive, Web-based curriculum on key aspects of EBM in family medicine. ⋯ This study demonstrates that an e-learning approach to educating medical students to effectively search MEDLINE for articles meeting the criteria for evidence-based practice can result in higher-quality literature search strategies, identification of higher-quality evidence, and improved confidence in information retrieval and analysis skills.
