At the end of the AEBMC Course, Trainees should have achieved the following learning objectives:
To learn the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine
Trainees will understand common statistical concepts (e.g. interpreting relative risks, odds ratio, numbers needed to treat, likelihood ratios, hazard ratios, confidence intervals).
To conduct searches, critically evaluate clinical data from trials and articles
Trainees will know how to search the literature to identify the most suitable and appropriate articles. Critically appraise various types of papers for example, randomised -controlled trials, systematic reviews, diagnostic studies). Trainees will be able to utilise such skill in applying to the practice of health care.
To develop the skills necessary to apply EBM in clinical practice
Develop the confidence and ability to retrieve, critically appraise and apply the evidence to relevant patient scenarios. Trainees will develop skills and gain knowledge which will be applicable to all healthcare decisions pertinent to patient care, patient counselling, health economics, as well as strategic planning.
Small Group In Class Teaching (85% to 90% of course time)
- AEBMC Trainees will be required to attend in class in person training.
- Each small group will consist of a maximum of 19 Trainees (may be fewer subject to social distancing measures) with 2 Trainers. Having 2 Trainers will facilitate questions and answers as well as provide diversity of views in the classroom. The EBM Trainers will be drawn from previous EBM workshops conducted in Singapore.
- Each small group will remain together throughout the workshop enabling more intensive and close interactions between the Trainers and the Trainees.
- Daily feedbacks will be obtained from the Trainees at the end of each module so that Trainers can tailor the teaching on the next module or the next to ensure optimum learning.
- The sequence of the modules delivered will be flexible. The Trainers will assess the participants’ knowledge, group composition and goals to deliver the sequence of the modules for optimum knowledge translation.
Lectures (10% to 15% of course time)
- Trainers will deliver 2 Lectures to all students. These lectures will be on subject matters which all Trainees should know and understand.
At the completion of the AEBMC workshop, all Trainees will undergo 20 Multiple Choice Questions evaluation test to consolidate learnings. Issue of the certificate of attendance is mandated upon passing the test and at least 75% attendance.
