[Evidence-based medicine in professional training and education in practice? The integrated evidence-based medicine curriculum at the Medical School at the University of Witten/Herdecke]]. / Evidenzbasierte Medizin: Eingebettet in die Ausbildung--Selbstverständlich in der Praxis? Das integrierte EbM-Curriculum im Modellstudiengang Medizin der Universität Witten/Herdecke.

Applying the principles of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice is becoming more and more important for healthcare professionals in Germany. In this context Witten/Herdecke University has implemented an EbM Curriculum for medical students that is closely related to problem-based learning and clinical rotations within the scope of the six-year medical reform curriculum. Starting with the first semester, students will be able to acquire the necessary skills to search medical databases, to critically review the information retrieved according to EbM standards, to gather evidence for answering diagnostic or therapeutic questions during their clinical education and to ultimately participate in the development of clinical guidelines during their last year.
