Evidence-based practice in radiology education: why and how should we teach it?

Abstract

Evidence-based practice in radiology (EBR) is becoming firmly established as a method to enhance the knowledge and fill the need for further knowledge within the profession. It has been identified as an essential part of the training program, both at medical school and at the resident and/or fellowship level. This review aims to describe the essential components of EBR, to describe the educational theories that may be applied to developing EBR within the curriculum, and to give several models that have been shown to result in greater student and resident participation in the search and exploration of evidence-based practice.
