The UBC Department of Family Practice Residency Program is committed to fostering a culture of curiosity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. The Scholarship and Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) components of the program empower residents to develop the skills necessary to critically appraise medical literature, integrate evidence into clinical practice, and contribute to the advancement of family medicine through scholarly activities.
Our Scholarship curriculum provides residents with the tools and mentorship to undertake meaningful research or quality improvement projects that address real-world challenges in primary care. From idea conception to dissemination, residents are guided through the research process, equipping them with the expertise to innovate and lead in their future practice.
Throughout the two years, residents will complete:
- TCPS Online Ethics Tutorial
- SPARK at York University Academic Integrity Module
- Quality Improvement Process (QI) or Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Project
- Resident Scholar Project
- Patient Safety Module
- Participation in Site Level, and where available Program Wide EBM Learning Opportunities
The EBM curriculum complements this by focusing on the practical application of research evidence to patient care. A newly developed online Evidence Informed Healthcare course is being implemented at most sites to facilitate curriculum delivery.
Together, the Scholarship and EBM components of the UBC Family Practice Residency Program prepare future family physicians to be leaders in evidence-informed care and contributors to the evolving field of family medicine.
