Online and offline integrated teaching model of evidence-based medicine based on online platform for medical undergraduates

Abstract

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an emerging subject which allows us to make health-related policy based on evidence, and is also an important course in medical colleges and universities. Given the current educational objectives and characteristics of evidence-based medicine, this paper proposed an online and offline integrated teaching model of evidence-based medicine based on online platform for medical undergraduates. Online teaching was conducted using online platform which focus on the cultivation of evidence-based thinking and scientific research quality. Offline teaching was in-classroom teaching which focus on basic knowledge and skill learning. Practice of this model not only enriches teaching methods, but also improves the learning effect, thus this model needs to be explored and perfected in the future.
