Empowering Medical Educators to Foster Evidence-Based Learning in Bangladesh

Abstract

In an era of rapid advancements in medical knowledge, technologies, and patient care, it is imperative that medical education evolves to meet these changes. Evidence-Based Learning (EBL) — a teaching approach that integrates the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences — is a critical strategy in transforming medical education globally. In Bangladesh, where medical education faces several challenges such as outdated curricula, limited access to resources, and an over-reliance on traditional teaching methods, adopting evidence-based learning is not merely a necessity but an urgent requirement. This editorial delves into the need for evidence-based learning in Bangladesh's medical education system, highlights the challenges faced by educators, and provides actionable strategies for empowering educators to foster a culture of evidence-based practice.
