TEACHING EVIDENCE BASED SURGERY

Spanish

In the years after you graduate, two things will happen:

1.- Your memory of what you learned in medical school will lose its freshness
2.- New treatment methods will be found that they never taught you about in school because they didn't exist.

If you are to remain a good surgeon, or become a better one, you need to stay on top of new developments as they occur.

The practice of EBS is a process of lifelong, self-directed, problem-based learning in which caring for one's own patients creates the need for clinically important information about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and other clinical and health care issues.
Instead of routinely reviewing the contents of dozens of journals for interesting articles, EBS suggests that you target your reading to issues related to specific patient problems.
Evidence Based Surgery provides you with the tools you need to find important new surgical research quickly and easily, and to work out its implications for your practice.

To evaluate the impact of an EBS Workshop on Surgeons’ Attitudes towards EBS and Self-Reported Ability in Evidence-Based Surgical Practice

a 7 questions (Attitud) and 6 questions (Self-Reported Ability) survey will be done.
Differences in surveys results will be analysed with a nonparametric two-sample Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests
