Description:
Created and maintained by the Boston University Alumni Medical Library this web-based tutorial designed for self-study can be completed in approximately five minutes and is appropriate to support evidence-based medicine (EBM) practice and curricular components. The major educational topics addressed include: the impact of the clinical question on EBM research; the key elements of a clinical question; how to form an answerable clinical question; and the role of the clinical question in the overall EBM process. Geared towards evidence-based practitioners and medical students (graduate and undergraduate) this tutorial is structured around an Otitis Media case. The case is introduced to actively guide users in building a PICO (through the step by step identification of the Patient, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome) and an answerable clinical question. Due to its interactive nature, users are engaged throughout the tutorial and are asked to input information, which is later revisited so that users can note progress. To ensure quality, this tutorial was reviewed by a family medicine physician. Links to related guides and worksheets are provided.
