What is EBMedEd?
Evidence-based Medical Education (EBMedEd) is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about individual educational programs. The practice of EBMedEd means integrating individual educational expertise with the best available external (i.e., literature) and/or internal (i.e., program evaluation) medical education evidence from systematic research.*
* Adapted from DL Sackett et als 1997 definition of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
Where can data about medical education be found?
