Bringing Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) into pharmacotherapy education can be tricky. Here are some of the challenges we face:
Curriculum Gaps: Many programs don't teach enough EBM. Instead, they stick to traditional pharmacology. This means that students might have a hard time using EBM in real life after they graduate.
Teacher Experience: If teachers don’t have strong training in EBM, it can be hard for them to teach it well. This can lead to students learning the wrong ideas about EBM.
Access to Resources: Students often don’t have enough access to important databases and new research. This can make it tough for them to learn how to think critically about the evidence.
