Research Literacy for Health-Professions Students: Promoting Competence in Assessing Evidence-Based Medicine

The expectation that the practice of medicine be evidence-based compels medical educators to effectively incorporate research education into health sciences curricula. With standards of care in a constant state of flux, it is imperative that health science professionals have the ability to competently interpret the quality of evidence in medical research publications. Educators must effectively and efficiently teach content and lay a foundation of critical thinking skills sufficient to support research literacy. This past summer the Medical Science Educator devoted a special issue to this topic. This series will expand upon issues addressed in the journal and showcase schools that have developed curricular innovations to promote research literacy among their students.
