Introduction
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) training for pharmacists has been shown to improve information search and analysis skills.
Methods
We developed a virtual course-workshop for community pharmacists (CPs) and used an online questionnaire to assess self-perceived of knowledge and clinical practices related to EBM.
Results
Twenty-three participants completed the course-workshop. There was an increase in the adequate formulation of the PICO strategy at the end of the course-workshop (52.17%, n=12 vs 8.70%, n=2; p<.0019). While, in self-reported clinical practice, there was an increase in consultation of specialized databases (86.5%, n=45 vs 57.69%, n=30; p<.001).
Discussion
The tele-education program was successful in improving self-perceived knowledge on the formulation of a PICO question and clinical practice related to EBM in pharmaceutical care.
