- Teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) in academic settings is important to prepare learners for clinical expectations.
- When developing an EBP program, it is important to assess available resources, commitment of educators, and infrastructure needs. Champions and mentors play key roles.
- Evaluating the success of an EBP program should include assessing learner integration of EBP principles into clinical care. The willingness of learners to apply EBP is the most important criterion.
