Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a course for evidence-based medicine, customized for third year medical students in Chungbuk National University.
Materials and Methods: A course development team was organized with eleven professors. Course contents were developed on faculty development and a questionnaire distributed in the course development team. The title of each class was based on the five steps of evidence-based medicine, which are Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, and Assess. The effectiveness of course was assessed once at the end of the course as achievement test in knowledge, skill and presentation domain with 80 points in total. The difficulty of the course contents was examined through course evaluation by students.
Results: Fifty students in third year of medical school (27 undergraduate medical students, 23 graduate medical students) received lessons for evidence-based medicine for one week in March 2012. The lesson was delivered in the form of didactic lectures and small group discussions. The mean (and standard deviation) of course achievements was 66.1 (5.5) for the total class, 66.7 (5.5) for the undergraduate medical students and 65.5 (5.5) for the graduate medical students. Subjects that more than ten percent of students reported hard to understand were: statistics (44%), the evidence level and its application (12%).
Conclusion: Considering the course achievement, the course implemented in 2012 for evidence-based medicine seems to be appropriate for teaching basic knowledge and skills of evidence-based medicine and for introducing basic concepts in epidemiology and medical statistics.
