“…While we do not have a baseline assessment to compare performance of previous classes prior to implementation of the longitudinal curriculum, others have documented Fresno benchmarks among EBM learners and practitioners. Smith et al (2016) collected data on the Fresno test performance from 417 third-and fourth-year medical students, a population not substantially different from our own. The average score achieved by this group of learners was 100.1 (Smith et al, 2016).…”

The average score achieved by this group of learners was 100.1 (Smith et al, 2016). Ramos et al (2003) administered the Fresno test to family practice residents and another group of self-identified EBM experts.…”

“…For example, we noted that the first (recognizing a knowledge gap) and last (evaluating practice) EBM steps are not well covered. Research suggesting that students struggle with critical appraisal skills [5] may indicate that these skills are more difficult for students to master and may explain why less attention is paid to the first and last steps. However, based on our finding that students lack willingness to admit uncertainty, which directly impacts their ability to recognize knowledge gaps, and medicine’s emphasis on continuous improvement we recommend EBM training take a more comprehensive approach to include all EBM steps.…”

“…Despite curricular integration of EBM, researchers have found clerkship-level medical students able to execute only half of the steps of EBM with difficulties especially in critically appraising the evidence found [5]. This deficiency suggests a need for future research to focus on the effectiveness of EBM interventions and educational approaches designed to overcome these challenges.…”

“…Despite this ubiquitous training, students demonstrate an understanding of only half of the requisite EBM skills on graduation 2. This may leave them ill prepared for residency and suggests a need to examine EBM educational approaches.…”
