Abstract
FERNANDEZ-GUZMAN, Daniel et al. From evidence to decision: the need of Evidence-Based Medicine competencies in Peruvian medical schools, to clinical decision making. Rev. Cuerpo Med. HNAAA [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.4, pp.496-500. Epub Dec 29, 2021. ISSN 2225-5109. http://dx.doi.org/10.35434/rcmhnaaa.2021.144.1456.
Objective:
To identify the need to implement Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) courses in the undergraduate curricula of Peruvian universities.
The estudy:
Descriptive observational study. The prevalence of teaching the EBM course in the medical schools of Peruvian universities was evaluated, as well as the semester in which it was taught and its obligatoriness.
Findings:
Of 44 medical schools evaluated, eight (18.2%) included an EBM course in their curricula, of which five(62.5%) corresponded to private universities and in seven(87,5%) the course was mandatory.
Conclusions:
The teaching of EBM in Peruvian university medical schools is low, potentially leading to less confidence and certainty in clinical decision making.
