Computer-assisted instruction in evidence-based medicine: A pilot study

The paper presents a computer-based curriculum designed for evidence-based medicine (EBM) training of Romanian undergraduate students. A series of materials and cases were developed and integrated into a virtual training environment in order to provide the students with the opportunity to learn about and to assess their evidence-based medicine knowledge and skills. The interactive Web-based approach was efficient and effective in the EBM training of undergraduate students, thus suggesting that it could be the appropriate method for teaching evidence-based medicine.
