Integrating EBM into the Undergraduate Medical Curriculum

I attended the recent International Students’ Congress of Research Integrity and Evidence-Based Practice, held on Kish Island, December 7-9, 2015. At the Congress, I gave a keynote presentation and led faculty and student workshops on the GATE approach to teaching evidence based medicine. I initially developed GATE (Graphic Appraisal Tool for Epidemiological studies) to teach undergraduate medical students how to critical appraise clinical studies, but I now use it with a much wider range of undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as many health professional groups.
