Abstract

Objectives:
To investigate the effectiveness of the problem based teaching integration in medical schools compared with traditional teaching on residents EBM performance.

Materials and Methods: We conducted a questionnaire based, cross-sectional survey among all residents from various medical specialties for 6 years from 2008 to 2013.

Result and Conclusion: Two hundred and twenty nine first year residents participated in the study. 75.3% of the participants had evidence based medicine in their curricula, either in the academic or clinical years or both. The majority of participants feel that evidence based medicine helped them in their daily patient care practice.

Key words: Problem Based learning, Evidence based Medicine, Residents, Saudi Arabia
