Residential 5 day course
9th-13th September 2013

St Hugh's College Oxford

http://www.cebm.net/index.aspx?o=7801

This workshop is aimed at clinicians and other health care professionals, including those involved in mental health, who already have some knowledge of critical appraisal and experience in the practice of evidence-based health care and who want to explore issues around teaching evidence-based medicine. The workshop is NOT intended to serve as an introduction to evidence-based medicine itself.
You should consider attending if you:

• are committed to patient-centred learning
  
• believe in the process of small-group learning
  
• take an active role in small group learning
  

There will be two main themes running throughout the workshop:

1. Teaching will be addressed through the exploration of different educational models for teaching evidence-based practice and identification and discussion of issues of pedagogy, curriculum design development and maintenance. The aim will be to promote the teaching of evidence-based health care at your home institution
   
2. Personal Development will be addressed by offering guidance and help in extending and advancing participants' existing critical appraisal and teaching skills.
   

Format
Most of the Workshop will be conducted in small groups in which participants will develop and test their own EBM packages. Plenary sessions will present and discuss general issues in planning, executing, and evaluating EBM, and will demonstrate large-group strategies for teaching EBM. Searching and study time will be provided each day, and informal social events will encourage free discussion and the establishment of ongoing links.

Materials and Preparation
Participants will receive EBM packages in diagnosis, prognosis, therapy/prevention, quality of care, systematic reviews, and economic analysis appropriate to their fields of health care, plus background readings, a core EBM textbook and software tools to help practice and teach EBM. You will benefit most fr om the Workshop if you bring your own EBM packages for testing in simulated teaching situations.

Facilitators
Workshop facilitators have been practicing and teaching EBM at sites across the UK, Europe and North America and Australasia. The Workshop will be chaired by Dr Carl Heneghan.
