Abstract

The authors have developed by trial and error some guidelines for teaching and learning the skills needed to provide evidence-based care. Educational activities should be applied, participatory, self-directed, practice-based and practical, and they should focus on high-priority problems. Efficiency should be emphasized, and expectations of how much any clinician can accomplish should be reasonable.
