Let Me Ask You Something

How do we know which type evidence is 'best' in each situation? How do we invite medical students to critically reflect on the way they integrate medical knowledge and medical expertise? How can they transform from 'evidence users' into 'evidence-based practitioners'?

We discuss the third installment of the series on philosophy in medical education of Mario Veen and Anna Cianciolo, which appears in Teaching and Learning in Medicine: An International Journal --

"Teaching Medical Epistemology within an Evidence-Based Medicine Curriculum" with the authors Mark Tonelli and Robyn Bluhm. You can download the article here: https://doi.org/10.1080/10401334.2020.1835666
