The development of an innovative and interactive web-based storyboard tutorial that introduces learners to the basic concepts of evidence-based practice (EBP) [http://www.lib.uci.edu/how/tutorials/EvidenceBasedPractice/] was the result of a collaboration between the Libraries' Health Sciences Education Team, the Department of Education and Outreach, and UCI's Distance Learning Center. The goal is to make it available on the Internet for learners to review at their own convenience. The tutorial is structured around an illustrative pediatric case scenario on Otitis Media and utilizes graphics, self assessment and voice-over narration. The case actively guides learners through the step-by-step EBP process: constructing a well-built answerable clinical question in therapy, researching articles using PubMed Clinical Queries, finding the evidence from a selected Randomized Controlled Trial, and a brief appraisal of the collected evidence. Since limited classroom time is allowed for EBP instruction in the undergraduate medical education curriculum, this tutorial provides additional instruction outside the classroom.
