Abstract

Introduction: Evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) is a fundamental core competency for new graduates. Our objectives were to evaluate clinical students' use, understanding of, and confidence in EBVM before undertaking an exercise consisting of an hour seminar in conjunction with a medical librarian, followed by a journal club and to evaluate students' knowledge of and ability to apply EBVM following the exercise.

Methods: In this cohort study, students undertaking a large animal ambulatory rotation completed questionnaires before the seminar, following the journal club, and at graduation. Students took a Fresno test evaluating EBVM knowledge at the end of the rotation.

Results: Prior to the seminar, 94% of students defined EBVM at least somewhat accurately, and 51% reported EBVM was at least 'quite important'. During previous rotations, 71% of students had performed literature searches to answer a clinician-assigned question; 89% had done this to answer their own questions. Students with previous research or EBVM training were more likely to perform self-directed literature searches. The most frequently used resource was textbooks. Eighty-seven per cent and 90% of students found the seminar and journal club, respectively, at least moderately useful in improving EBVM knowledge.

Conclusions: Our results support the inclusion of an EBVM exercise during the clinical year and suggest spaced repetition may be helpful in teaching this topic.

对兽医专业临床年教学中的循证兽医学练习进行评估。
导言:循证兽医学(EBVM)是应届毕业生的一项基本核心能力。我们的目标是评估临床专业学生在进行一项练习之前对循证兽医学的使用、理解和信心,这项练习包括与医学图书馆员共同举办的一小时研讨会,随后是期刊俱乐部,并评估学生在练习之后对循证兽医学的了解和应用能力:在这项队列研究中,参加大动物门诊轮转的学生在研讨会前、期刊俱乐部后和毕业时填写了调查问卷。轮转结束后,学生们参加了一次 Fresno 测试,评估 EBVM 知识:研讨会前,94% 的学生至少在一定程度上准确定义了 EBVM,51% 的学生表示 EBVM 至少 "相当重要"。在之前的轮转中,71%的学生曾为回答临床医生指定的问题进行过文献检索;89%的学生曾为回答自己的问题进行过文献检索。接受过研究或 EBVM 培训的学生更有可能进行自主文献检索。最常用的资源是教科书。分别有 87% 和 90% 的学生认为研讨会和期刊俱乐部对提高欧洲生物伦理与管理知识至少有一定的帮助:我们的研究结果支持在临床学年中加入EBVM练习,并表明间隔重复练习可能有助于这一主题的教学。
