Table 4 SWOT Analysis

Strength

Weakness

▪ Educational content of the program

▪ Students’ high level of knowledge acquisition

▪ Faculty members

▪ Encouraging critical thinking

▪ Providing guidance for lifelong learning

▪ Lack of educational material

▪ Short duration

▪ Class times (starts after daily schedule, so students feel tired)

Opportunities

Threatens

▪ Increasing importance given to evidence-based medical education

▪ The need for systematic training in EBM in CMF curriculum

▪ High interest of students for the program

▪ If the EBM course becomes compulsory, the interactive practice becomes more difficult due to an excess of class size
