Evidence-based medicine in internal medicine clerkships: a national survey.
Although evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become widely accepted, the extent of its implementation during clinical clerkships is not well described. This study was done to characterize the implementation of formal EBM curricula in internal medicine clerkships. ⋯ Evidence-based medicine has been formally incorporated into relatively few internal medicine clerkships. Faculty development programs in conjunction with innovative teaching methods may help overcome these barriers.
