It is extremely useful in the practice of evidence-based medicine. When it comes to teaching medical sciences, based on a guiding question, a structured literature review can be used to identify, compile, and analyze the available evidence, helping the teaching–learning process in healthcare. In this context, the medical schools in the Brazilian Amazon have been undergoing changes in the way their pedagogical policy projects are constructed, as a result of the need to respond to the health demands of the local community, allowing them to open up to teaching–learning methodologies that are more focused on the student. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the impact of using systematic literature research to support problem-based learning (PBL) and the teaching of clinical professional skills (CPS) in the healthcare axis of the medical course at a university in the Brazilian Amazon.</p></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><p>Eight groups from different semesters of the medical course took part in the study.

The results of the different literature reviews within the healthcare axis were published in the form of scientific articles.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The systematic literature review showed the applicability of evidence-based medicine by students at a public university in the Brazilian Amazon region, who became more motivated and aware of the teaching–learning process applied to healthcare focused on the reality of the region in which they live.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35317,"journal":{"name":"Educacion Medica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1575181324000470/pdfft?md5=78170b03fe843a25f2b878d43e291060&pid=1-s2.0-S1575181324000470-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141066923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
