The evidence-based medicine (EBM) elective will immerse students in a one-week hands-on experience using EBM techniques to deliver a professional Journal Club presentation. The goal of the elective is to coach students through the process of answering a clinical question and relaying results to an audience so they become aware of the process and develop strategies for this process. This elective will reinforce longitudinal strategies for locating and evaluating primary literature coupled with critical appraisal skills taught in the evidence-based medicine thread of the Professions of Medicine. Students will receive in-depth training on: formulating a searchable clinical question, determine an appropriate resource to search, critically appraising primary literature, and presenting an appraisal to an audience in a Journal Club. The student presentation will then be evaluated with a clinician, informationist, and biostatistician present to help assess the student's ability to synthesize and communicate the process.
