How To Teach Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Workshop
Location: McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Registration: November 1, 2009 — April 1, 2010
Welcome to the 17th annual How To Teach Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Workshop.
Come to McMaster, the birthplace of evidence-based health-care (EBHC), to join other clinician educators interested in communicating the concepts of evidence-based clinical decision-making to their clinician learners. The workshop accepts clinicians from a wide variety of backgrounds; there are typically groups in internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, surgery, family medicine, gastroenterology, a Spanish group and a French group.
The leader among international EBM workshops
This international workshop caters to all those interested in medical education, and may be of particular interest to program directors, chief residents, hospitalists, and educators with a focus on continuous quality improvement/quality assurance.
The EBHC workshop is aimed at clinicians, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, occupational and physiotherapists, dentists, chiropractors and other health-care professionals who wish to go beyond simply learning evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP) and advance their skills in communicating EBCP concepts. The workshop uses small-group formats for participants to practice their skills. Participants should be prepared to practice their own teaching in the small group format.
You will find, in this website, a detailed description of the objectives of the workshop, the small group learning format and how it works, examples of teaching materials the workshop uses, and several videos that illustrate the sort of EBCP teaching the workshop facilitates.
What is Evidence-Based Clinical Practice / Evidence-Based Medicine?
Evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP) or evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an approach to health care practice that explicitly acknowledges the evidence that bears on each patient management decision, the strength of that evidence, the benefits and risk of alternative management strategies, and the role of patients' values and preferences in trading off those benefits and risks.
