Evidence-Based Practice II: Faculty & Curriculum Development

描述(由申请人提供)：西部州立脊椎按摩学院(与俄勒冈健康与科学大学合作)已成功实施了新EBP课程的第一版，并对教师进行了初步培训。这次赠款续期的主要目标将是在新的EBP课程的基础上再接再厉，并将其更无缝地融入学院的机构和文化结构，以便维持在第一个赠款周期中取得的成果。为了实现这一目标，必须进一步注意确保计划的可持续性，扩大教师EBP的技能和参与，向脊椎疗法和CAM社区传播EBP过程和产品，加强EBP方法在临床层面的应用，并继续进行计划评估。为此目的，已通过若干项目确定了五个目标，以实现这些目标。目标1是评估、修订和管理新的EBP课程。这将通过三个项目来实现。在第一笔拨款中开发的EBP课程将进行评估和更新。教授EBP学习模块的教师将协调课堂作业并解决差距/重叠问题。将开发和维护支持工具，供学生和教师使用。目标2是通过三个项目加强教师发展计划。高级教员EBP培训将包括文献搜索和批判性评估、教学策略和生物统计学方面的课程研讨会。将制定一项教师指导计划，以满足个别教师的需求。还将为新教师开发一个自我指导、导师辅助的计划，以涵盖所需的EBP技能。目标3是增加职业外展。将举行一次关于补充和替代医学(CAM)机构的EBP教学和项目开发的会议。此外，还将举办研究生研讨会，介绍EBP在执业脊医和其他CAM从业者中的应用。目的4是通过开发一种患者护理路径来扩大EBP的临床应用。教师将使用EBP原则来创建评估和管理常见头痛的方案，供我们的脊椎疗法临床系统具体使用。目标5是对EBP计划进行评估。我们将继续使用第一笔助学金中的工具评估学生的知识、态度和技能；我们将开发新的工具来评估EBP实践和校友面临的障碍。我们将评估学生和教职员工对EBP培训的满意度。最后，我们将监测计划在课堂和临床系统中的实施情况。该项目的创新之处在于，它不是创新单一的EBP课程或课程系列，而是寻求将EBP技能和知识整合到整个课程中，同时培养一支懂EBP的大学教师队伍，而不是简单地培养几名内容专家。这样的项目的成功可能会对脊骨疗法学院如何教授EBP产生重大影响。 与公共健康相关：这笔补助金将加强脊骨神经治疗专业学生循证实践的培训。通过这笔赠款提供的资源，脊医和其他辅助和替代医学从业者将发展更多的EBP技能。他们将能够更好地为患者提供最好的护理，造福社会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Western States Chiropractic College (in conjunction with the Oregon Health & Science University) has successfully implemented the 1st version of the new EBP curriculum and initial training of the faculty. The principal goal of this grant renewal will be to build upon and improve the new EBP curriculum and to integrate it more seamlessly into the institutional and cultural fabric of the College so that gains made during the first grant cycle are sustained. To achieve this goal, further attention must be paid to ensuring program sustainability, broadening faculty EBP skills and involvement, disseminating EBP processes and products to the chiropractic and CAM communities, enhancing the application of EBP methods at the clinical level, and continuing program evaluation. To this end, five aims have been identified with a number of projects to accomplish them. Aim 1 is to assess, revise, and manage the new EBP curriculum. This will be accomplished through three projects. The EBP curriculum developed in the first grant will be assessed and updated. Faculty teaching EBP learning modules will coordinate class assignments and address gaps/overlap. Support tools will be developed and maintained for use by students and instructors. Aim 2 is to enhance the faculty development program with three projects. Advanced faculty EBP training will include course seminars in literature search and critical appraisal, teaching strategies, and biostatistics. A faculty mentoring program will be developed to address the needs of the individual faculty members. A self- directed, mentor-assisted program for new faculty will also be developed to cover required EBP skills. Aim 3 is to increase professional outreach. A conference will be presented on EBP teaching and program development for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) institutions. Postgraduate seminars will also be conducted on application of EBP for practicing chiropractors and other CAM practitioners. Aim 4 is to expand clinical application of EBP by developing a care pathway for patient care. Faculty will use EBP principles to create protocols for assessing and managing commonly seen headaches for specific use in our chiropractic clinic system. Aim 5 is to evaluate the EBP program. We will continue to assess student knowledge, attitudes, and skills using instruments from the first grant; we will develop new instruments to evaluate EBP practice and barriers for alumni. We will assess student and faculty satisfaction with EBP training. Finally, we will monitor program implementation in the classroom and clinic system. The program is innovative in that, rather than renovating a single course in EBP or course series, it seeks to integrate EBP skills and knowledge across an entire curriculum, and to simultaneously develop an EBP- literate college faculty as opposed to simply developing a few content experts. Success of such a program could have a significant impact on how chiropractic colleges approach teaching EBP. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This grant will enhance the training of chiropractic students in evidence-based practice (EBP). Through resources made available through this grant, chiropractors and other complementary and alternative medicine practitioners will develop greater EBP skills. They will be better able to apply the best available care to their patients to the benefit of society.
