Module | Goals |
---|---|
Module 1: EBM training | |
1.1 Introduction to EBHI | • Participants gain an overview of the development process of EBHI and reflect on their own practice. • Participants start to consider EBHI as the prerequisite for informed decision-making. |
1.2 Treatment studies | • Participants understand the difference between association and causality and that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are designed to establish a causal relationship. • Participants know the characteristics of RCTs. • Participants are able to interpret the results of RCTs and critically appraise them. |
1.3 Evidence syntheses | • Participants are able to interpret the results and critically appraise systematic reviews and meta-analyses. • Participants describe the development process of guidelines and are aware of their limitations. |
1.4 Diagnostic studies | • Participants are able to identify the major study designs for diagnostic studies. • Participants are able to calculate and interpret test accuracy. • Participants recognise the problem of overdiagnosis and overtherapy. |
1.5 Systematic literature search | • Participants are able to conduct systematic literature searches to identify literature appropriate to their research question. |
Module 2: Application of the guideline | |
• Participants are able to develop EBHI and document the development process. • Participants know about and apply strategies for piloting EBHI. • Participants consider EBHI as the prerequisite for informed decision-making. |
