Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0303 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Searching Is a Competency
Captions available
The idea
Systematic searching has defined competencies — describable behaviours, some basic and some advanced, that a clinician can be held to.
In practice
Choosing an appropriate database is one; using truncation is another.
Where people slip
Treating search skill as a personal knack rather than a competency is why it is rarely taught and rarely assessed.
