[EUebm--integrating a Europe-wide harmonised training and continuing medical education in evidence-based medicine (BbM) with patient care].

Integrative concepts of teaching and learning with close reference to individual work routines are better suited to bring about attitudinal and behavioural modification--apart from a gain in knowledge and skills--than traditional educational approaches. All the same, the vast majority of continuing training courses in Evidence-based Medicine takes place during weekend courses or evening classes, outside the work environment. To counteract this deficit a modular curriculum framework for Evidence-based Medicine was developed within the scope of the European research project EUebm which aims to achieve both a harmonisation of EbM education and training in Europe and a better integration of education and training with everyday clinical practice.
