Interventions
The intervention consists of a curriculum with 5 modules, tought and learned over a period of 8 weeks. Assessments are pre and one month post intervention. The modules are: 1) asking clinical questions, 2) searching the evidence, 3) critical appraisal of systematic reviews, 4)applicability of the evidence to the patient, 5) implementation of the evidence into practice. Each module consists of an e-learning component (these are one to three 15-25 minutes online sessions for the trainee to complete in her/his own time), applying the theoretical knowledge during clinical wardrounds and formative and summative assessments. A clinical facilitator guides trainees to identifying learning opportunities in a clinical setting, directs appropriate use of learning resources (e-learning) and providies feedback on learning exercises/assignments. Trainees will pursue independent study using the study guide and e-learning modules.
