  • It seems that unless we integrate EBD teaching with what we do on clinic students and clinicians fail to use it. So educational prescriptions have been used in medical and dental undergraduate and postgraduate teaching to help students to think critically about what they are doing on the clinic.

    The concept is to ask a structured question with a tutor, to go away and look for the evidence (though this can easily be done using a smartphone when a patient fails to attend, for example) and then to report back on what they have found.
