Reinforce critical thinking by preparing students to practice EBM

Keep a record of their learning and reflections

The evidence-based medicine toolkit enables individuals to learn, practice, and discuss EBM. It includes state- of-the-art knowledge on everything students need to learn to assess evidence, weigh risks and benefits, and appraise systematic reviews and clinical trials. Educators love that they can leverage appraisal checklists, statistical calculators, and more. 5 Encourage self-directed learning Use Best Practice to assign self-directed learning. The tool was designed to be used in both a clinical and educational environment. The topics are structured to follow the clinical workflow meaning students will be able to learn about a condition the same way they would approach a patient’s presentation of symptoms.

Registering with Best Practice means users can track all of their learning and record their reflections per clinical question via the CME tracker. By sharing their personalized CME tracker, you can have an overview of their activity and understand how it’s impacted their thinking.
