Does the current version of 'Tomorrow's Doctors' adequately support the role of evidence-based medicine in the undergraduate curriculum?
Medical Teacher, 10/15/09

Crilly M et al. – Whilst all five steps of EBM can be mapped against TD–2003, the guidance makes no explicit reference to EBM and a coherent framework is lacking. The focus of undergraduate EBM teaching should be on 'using' research evidence (rather than undertaking research). The current emphasis on 'therapy' should be expanded to include the EBM–related issues of 'diagnosis, prognosis and harm'. UK medical schools also need to exploit the NHS investment in 'national electronic libraries'.
