Assessing the teaching of evidence-based veterinary medicine
Curricular Assessment of evidence-based veterinary medicine teaching in Portugal
Research question: What teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and non-conventional therapies (TNCs) exists in Portuguese veterinary curricula?
Method: Content analysis of Portuguese curricula in veterinary medicine, using a set of 26 previously validated keywords.
Sample: Official curriculum programs of six Portuguese faculties of veterinary medicine (out of a total of 8), as approved by the by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES) in 2016.
Conclusions: Important deficiencies in terms of the declared curriculum of EBM in Portuguese veterinary schools were found; More teaching of EBM is needed, namely critical appraisal of scientific literature and the integration of best evidence into clinical decision-making.
