Life long learningThe hardest conviction to get into the mind of a
beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not … a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
Sir William Osler (1849-1919), from: The Student of Medicine

Is keeping up to date Mission Impossible?

Coping with the overload: three possible things you might try
A. Read an evidence-basedabstraction journal(and cancel other journals)
B. Keep a logbook of yourown clinical questions
C. Run a case-discussion journalclub with your practice

Some variants of Evidence-Based Practice
Part 2: The 4 steps of “pull” EBM1. Formulate an answerable question2. Track down the best evidence 3. Critically appraise the evidence4. Individualise, based clinical expertise and patient
concerns

What are your clinical questions? A 35 year old man says
his brother recently died of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. He is worried about whether he might have one and what the chances are that it would rupture.

2. Searching: finding good answers?
Should I ask a colleague? 12 occupational therapy questions
E.g., Is a 38-year old sewage worker subject to a higher risk of contracting Hepatitis A as a result of occupational exposure? (No)
Obtain advice from 2 professionals on 3 cases each.
37% wrong answers 17% wrong if based on literature 65% wrong if not

3. Rapid Critical Appraisal
It’s peer-reviewed, therefore it must be OK?
Step 4: Applying to the individual What do the results
mean on average? What do they mean
for this individual?
What are the alternatives to EBM?
