Paving an EBM Trail: From Journal Club to Publication and Presentation--A Longitudinal Curriculum
SCHOLARLY TOPIC ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
Corey Lyon, DO
According to the RRC, the training environment must be in compliance with EBM practices, and residents must gain experience with EBM. Teaching residents the basic EBM skills of smart literature search, determining relevance and validity, statistics synthesis, determining LoE’s, and applying this evidence to practice are taught while we critically appraise the latest research during Journal Club. Then, each EBM step is put into practice during a structured scholarly program by writing with FPIN or conducting QI projects that contribute to our PCMH transformation. This lecture will share our longitudinal Journal Club curriculum, exercises, handouts, and share our scholarly program that has lead to publications and awards.

Priority Updates from the Research Literature (PURLs) is a publication series of the Family Physicians Inquiries Network that is designed to identify, interpret, and summarize clinical research with the potential to change how family physicians practice. By participating in PURLs activity, family physicians can gain expertise in evidence-based medicine and can fulfill scholarly requirements. PURLs are also used as teaching tools to illustrate principles of evidence-based medicine to faculty, fellows, residents, and students. Our presentation will include (1) The rationale for the PURLs project, (2) The process used to develop PURLs, (3) PURLs participants from around the country will describe their involvement, including benefits and challenges, (4) Interested participants will have an opportunity to become involved in PURLs, with our assistance.
