description | Introduction: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) endorses evolving scholarly education regarding evidence-based medicine (EBM) and its clinical application in Internal Medicine (IM). The IM residents at Navy Medical Readiness and Training Center San Diego (NMRTC-SD) communicated the need for both increased ambulatory didactic sessions as well as a formal EBM curriculum. Prior to the academic year of 2021-2022, no formal ambulatory or EBM curriculum existed. In July 2021, an integrated EBM-ambulatory curriculum was implemented. Methods: A pre-curriculum needs assessment was performed and thereafter an eight-session integrated ambulatory-EBM curriculum was implemented in the 2021-2022 academic year. Faculty members facilitated small group discussions focused on a particular didactic topic and EBM principle and integrated the learning of both into one session. After each session, residents completed a feedback form. At the end of the year, a post-curriculum needs assessment was collected. Key Results: Thirty-four residents of all post-graduate years (PGY) levels participated from July 2021 to June 2022. Primary outcomes were satisfaction with the didactic portion of the curriculum, perception of receipt of adequate training in EBM principles, and perception of level of competency in practicing EBM principles. Overall, participants reported a substantial increase in satisfaction with didactic teaching and a large increase in the perceived competency in practicing EBM principles. Conclusion: This integrated didactic-EBM curriculum represents an effective method of incorporating didactic topics in IM with the teaching and application of EBM principles, which improved resident satisfaction with the curricula and self-perception of competency in critically appraising medical literature. |
