Teaching evidence-based surgery (EBS) equips surgeons with critical appraisal and application skills for optimal patient care. Early integration into medical school curricula and continuous reinforcement are vital for developing expert clinicians.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Practice
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Evidence-based surgery (EBS) involves critical interrogation, reasoning, appraisal, and application of information.
  • Surgeons daily integrate patient values and preferences with evidence for treatment decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the objectives and methodologies for teaching evidence-based surgery (EBS).
  • To emphasize the importance of patient-centered, active, and interactive learning approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Teaching EBS requires structured, small-group sessions led by expert clinician role models.
  • Effective EBS programs necessitate institutional support, librarian/computer science collaboration, and proven methodologies.

Main Results:

  • Early introduction of evidence-based medicine (EBM) concepts in medical school is ideal.
  • Continuous EBM education throughout medical school and beyond is recommended.

Conclusions:

  • EBS education should be patient-centered, learner-centered, active, and interactive.
  • Formal, structured teaching of EBS is essential, ideally starting early in medical training.
