National Forum Seminar: A Practice Exchange of Innovations in EBP Education
This seminar will explore the embedding of evidence based practice (EBP) teaching and learning within and across healthcare professional curricula. EBP is fundamental for safe, high-quality healthcare and therefore an essential component of all healthcare programmes. However, designing and integrating EBP learning opportunities which explicitly and progressively drive student learning is a known curriculum design challenge. A recent Irish HEI review found that EBP was infrequently embedded within curricula (Lehane 2018). In response a UCC-led team recently defined EBP core competencies for health professionals (Lehane 2020). Building on this work, UCD formed an EBP Education Collaborative (EVIBEC) and built on this work, developing a vertical interdisciplinary framework, co-designed with students, that mapped learning outcomes to these competencies and suggested learning activities to achieve these.
