MDCN 440 is the Applied Evidence Based Medicine program taught to 2nd year Undergraduate Medical Education students. Helen and I taught this on August 16 and 30. Some of these students have selected a research option which will require an indepth systematic review search. They may ask for advice on databases and terms. Students have been taught to start with Medline, and update in Pubmed. Embase and Cochrane might also need to be searched, depending on what they want to do.
For Evidence Prescriptions, students generally just need to search medline or pubmed and may be asking for assistance with terms and database selection. Usually these questions involve a drug therapy, but medline/pubmed is usually sufficient. If not much is found, the student should be directed to Embase.
