To demonstrate that evidence-based medicine (EBM) training can be imparted in developing countries using minimal resources.
Development of a minimal cost workshop with validation of gain in EBM skills using the Berlin questionnaire.
Teaching hospital in Pakistan.
Multidisciplinary faculty from The Shifa College of Medicine and Nursing, Pakistan.
A 14-hour locally-tailored McMaster-style workshop, using a problem-based, learner-focused small group format, with pre- and post-workshop evaluation of EBM skills.
Analysis of the pre- and post-Berlin questionnaires of the participants revealed that the pre-workshop Berlin questionnaire score for the group was 4.7+/-2.3, with a post-workshop Berlin score of 7.6+/-1.0 (p<0.001).
EBM workshops can be locally-tailored in developing countries, where access to such workshops is generally not available. Workshops can serve to promote EBM skills in faculty, who can then help to disseminate and model concepts. The process increases awareness and interest in EBM, which in this case resulted in formation of a national platform for EBM.
证明在发展中国家可以利用最少的资源开展循证医学（EBM）培训。
开发一个低成本的工作坊，并使用柏林问卷对循证医学技能的提升进行验证。
巴基斯坦的教学医院。
巴基斯坦希法医学院和护理学院的多学科教员。
一个时长14小时、根据当地情况定制的麦克马斯特式工作坊，采用基于问题、以学习者为中心的小组形式，并在工作坊前后对循证医学技能进行评估。
对参与者的柏林问卷前后结果分析显示，该组工作坊前的柏林问卷得分为4.7±2.3，工作坊后的得分为7.6±1.0（p<0.001）。
在通常无法参加此类工作坊的发展中国家，可以根据当地情况定制循证医学工作坊。这些工作坊有助于提升教员的循证医学技能，教员随后可以帮助传播和示范相关理念。这一过程提高了对循证医学的认识和兴趣，在本案例中促成了一个循证医学国家平台的形成。
