Aim: To describe the development, implementation, and structure of an innovative evidence-based medicine (EBM) advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) rotation and evaluate student pharmacists’ perceptions of the course. Methods: A five-week, EBM APPE rotation was designed by seven faculty. Students worked remotely in teams and individually to complete pre- and post-assessments, journal clubs, journal scans, drug information questions, and clinical debates, as well as self- and peer-assessments. Students were asked to rate their perceptions of the course on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: A total of eighteen students, precepted by seven faculty members, completed the rotation. Students completed three group journal clubs, three individual journal scans, one individual journal club, one drug information question, and one clinical debate. Students survey data indicated that confidence in EBM skills was high following the rotation. Conclusion: This EBM APPE rotation was successful. The structure of this rotation may be transferable to a variety of settings.

ABSTRACT Journal clubs are a medium to educate clinicians about the process of evidence based medicine. They are effective strategy to keep endocrine surgeons up to date with relevant literature. However, this exercise needs considerable expertise, skill and dedication on the part of both the presenter and moderator to make it a successful one. We have addressed the methodology for an effective journal club. How to cite this article Sabaretnam M, Tripati N, Bansal N, Pradhan R, Agarwal A. Journal Clubs in Endocrine Surgery.

Context: It is the educator's responsibility to prepare the students to be clinicians who think and reason critically while integrating research evidence into practice. Those new to the role of faculty member, who lack clinical and teaching experience, face challenges in the classroom application of those concepts. Objective: To discuss the challenges facing new faculty members and present strategies for addressing them. Specific faculty challenges addressed include learning their roles as educators and teaching multifaceted concepts, such as clinical reasoning and evidence-based medicine. Background: Experience provides a framework for a professional to balance multiple demands, whether as a new instructor teaching or a clinician synthesizing information to determine a course of action. Many new educators do not have extensive experience either clinically or in the classroom. This can cause anxiety as educators are confounded by their roles and responsibilities. Students likewise lack experience and may not possess the ability to systematically analyze patient encounters or research evidence. Constructivist learning theory paired with adult learning principles can address the learning needs of faculty members and students alike. Recommendation(s): Programs must provide assistance for new faculty and implement strategies for students to learn reasoning skills. Use of constructivist learning theory and application of the adult learning model are ways to address these deficiencies. Integrating concepts of active learning and self-direction while aligning expectations and creating overlap between classroom and clinical domains can assist in addressing the challenges faced by new faculty and students. Conclusion(s): The systematic process of evidence-based decision making is grounded in utilizing evidence. Strategies must be identified and implemented throughout curricula to target and enhance students' abilities to organize and synthesize information. Educators must use new methods in their own learning and teaching to enhance their students' abilities. New faculty members in particular require assistance in negotiating their roles.

The Impact

Background: Drug Information Center (DIC) with on-call evidence-based medicine service can revolutionize health-care practice and also can play a major role in health-care delivery in both developed and developing countries. Objective: To assess the feedback received from hospital clinicians for the newly initiated DIC services in a tertiary care hospital of North India. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted between January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. The clinicians approached DIC for specific pharmacotherapeutic questions for managing an index patient. After providing consultation, DIC followed up with them for the action taken and feedback on the consultation. The results of the data analyzed using Fisher Exact test and descriptive statistics. Results: Of 264 encounters, more than 98% of clinicians found the service satisfactory. There was a statistically significant association between the timely answer provided to treating physicians and their level of satisfaction with the service ( P < .05). There was no significant association between academic experiences and the satisfaction or dissatisfaction among the clinical fraternity colleagues. The interpretation ability of on-call pharmacology postgraduate students was a significantly associated factor with clinician’s satisfaction level ( P < .05). More than 96% of clinicians followed the pharmacotherapy advice recommended by DIC in their patient management. Conclusion: Thorough evaluation of published research needs to be taught to budding pharmacologists, pharmacists in their curriculum for an effective DIC service. DIC service has the potential to minimize the barrier of evidence-based medicine practice in developing as well as developed countries.

Clinical Problems

Evidence-based medicine is an approach to clinical training and practice that is increasing in popularity. When introduced into the journal club format, it provides an opportunity to integrate real clinical problems with critical evaluation of the psychiatric research literature. The principles of evidence-based medicine and the practicalities of its introduction into the Journal club format are described.
