An evidence-based medicine approach for case presentations by trainees.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a key aspect of medical training that can be challenging for trainees to learn. Tumour boards (TBs) are multidisciplinary meetings that are often opportunities for trainees to deliver patient case presentations, which is another integral part of medical education; however, TBs are time intensive, typically lack academic structure and may fail to emphasise EBM.

Objective

To design a systematic approach to improve both trainee satisfaction and the level of evidence cited at typical academic TBs.

Methods

From 2017 to 2018, Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology was used to develop a systematic approach for medical oncology trainees towards TBs. Statistical testing was used to assess which characteristics of a patient case made it
