Practising GPs teaching medical students evidence based medicine--a questionnaire survey.
Australian Family Physician 2006 December
BACKGROUND: The characteristics of practising general practitioners who teach evidence based medicine (EBM) during their clinical work--and their attitudes toward it--are poorly known.
METHODS: One hundred and twenty-two Canberra GPs who previously had medical students attend their practice were sent a questionnaire on their education, experience, knowledge, confidence, and attitudes toward teaching EBM.
RESULTS: Eighty-three (68%) GPs responded, 13% had postgraduate EBM training, and 20% taught EBM. A further 28% of GPs denied they were teachers of EBM but had asked students to find evidence to answer questions about patient care. Seventy-six percent of GPs could understand and explain at least one EBM term, and 17% over five terms. Most GPs welcomed EBM into their clinical work and agreed EBM improved students' learning. Barriers to teaching included a perceived lack of time, staff support, and the need for more EBM teacher training.
DISCUSSION: Although few GPs had trained in EBM, many were teaching it. University teaching programs should build on GP confidence in EBM teaching.
