Outcome Evaluation: A Key Essential for EBP Integration into the Curriculum

Outcome evaluation is a critical step in the EBP Process.  Without careful, objective evaluation, educators cannot know if students have assimilated the knowledge taught into their thinking.  This presentation provides learners with methods that have been successful in evaluating students’ integration of EBP into their daily clinical practice. After attending this session, participants will be able to a)  Describe options for how to evaluate graduate students’ integration of EBP into their thinking and b)  Describe options for how to evaluate outcomes of the extent to which undergraduate students integrate EBP into their thinking.
