Research/Clinical Interest
Title
Evidence based medicine
Description
My research interests have focused broadly around evidence based medicine. I published the seminal article on clinical practice guideline quality in JAMA. I, along with other members of the Society of General Internal Medicine EBM Task Force, published a critical appraisal of instruments used to evaluate the teaching of EBM. I am currently developing an online course in EBM based on constructivist principles and will incorporate multiple authentic learning modalities. Ultimately the course will have different tracts (medicine, pedicatrics, surgery, OB, psychiatry) based on learner preferences.
