Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Information Skills for Clerkships

Catalog description

The Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Information Skills for Clerkships course is an online course required for all third year medical students as they start clinical clerkship. Once students are registered for the course on OASIS, they will have access to Blackboard Learn where the course is administered. Blackboard may be accessed through MySLU under the tag “Tool.” A link to the course will appear under the MyCourses panel. The course will provide students the opportunity to further solidify their knowledge on the current practice of EBM. The course is designed to strengthen information skills and enhance students’ ability to access the most current and highest-evidence-level clinical studies. At the end of the course, students will be better equipped to meet the 7th of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) for medical students before graduation, outlined in the Association of American Medical Colleges 2014 report.
