Spring 2008 Newsletter Article
The EBM SIG has continued to make progress in achieving our goals for 2007-2008. We submitted revised general pediatric residency EBM educational objectives to the APA Education Committee, and have posted them on line at our SIG web site http://apaebmsig.wetpaint.com/ for residency programs to use at their discretion.
We have also launched this site as a public resource for those seeking on-line resources for EBM teaching, tools to evaluate EBM skills as well as a calendar of information on our SIG and other pediatric EBM activities. We will list all of the EBM workshops and posters at the upcoming annual PAS meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii this May. All are welcome to join Wetpaint.com and then visit our wiki site. SIG members may freely edit the contents as long as you let us know of the changes.
Our SIG will meet at the annual PAS meeting on Monday, May 5, from 9 a.m. to noon. We will review 2007 goals and objectives and discuss membership to the SIG, our APA SIG listserv, and our EBP wiki site. In the first part of the meeting, we will discuss curriculum development with EBM educational goals for general pediatric residents. Finally, we will review and discuss our relatively new APA EBP SIG wiki site. In the second part, we have asked leaders in the field to host a discussion on “EBM Users versus Doers” with respect to outcomes of teaching and expectations for practice. In the third part of the meeting, the co-chairs will lead a discussion regarding goals for our SIG for the upcoming year.
