• Define the principles of
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and explain its importance in clinical practice.
• Construct clear and focused
clinical questions using the PICO framework by the end of the session.
• Demonstrate the ability to
identify and locate relevant sources of evidence for a given clinical query.
• Differentiate between
primary and secondary sources of evidence and retrieve relevant articles for a
clinical scenario.
• Apply evidence-based approaches to medical decision-making and practice using structured frameworks during the session.
• participants will critically appraise randomized clinical trials, focusing on validity, bias, and applicability to clinical practice.
• Evaluate the design,
methodology, and validity of cohort studies, identifying key strengths and
limitations.
• Appraise case-control
studies, effectively identifying sources of bias, confounding factors, and
their impact on study outcomes.
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is the integration of the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values to guide medical decision-making. It empowers healthcare professionals to ask structured clinical questions, critically appraise scientific literature, and apply findings to improve patient outcomes.
This course provides a practical introduction to EBM, covering key concepts such as formulating clinical questions (PICO), searching the literature, and critically evaluating studies. Participants will develop essential skills to incorporate evidence into clinical practice effectively and confidently.
1- Define and articulate the principles of Evidence-Based
Medicine (EBM) and its role in improving clinical practice.
2- Construct precise and focused clinical questions using
the PICO framework.
3- Demonstrate the ability to identify, access, and retrieve
high-quality evidence from primary and secondary sources, including PubMed.
4- Critically appraise randomized clinical trials, cohort
studies, case-control studies, and other scientific articles for validity,
reliability, and clinical relevance.
5- Integrate research evidence into clinical decision-making
processes, considering patient needs and clinical context.
6- Perform structured and advanced literature searches on
databases like PubMed to locate relevant studies for clinical scenarios.
7- Distinguish between different types of studies (e.g.,
RCTs, cohort, case-control) and identify their strengths, limitations, and
appropriate applications.
8- Develop the skills to continuously seek, assess, and
implement evidence into practice for ongoing professional development.
You have to attend 60% of the course and fill out the Survey at the end of the course to obtain the certificate.
