[Status of Evidence-based Medicine Education in Undergraduate Pharmacy Curricula].

This research aimed to clarify the present status and challenges of evidence-based medicine (EBM) education in schools of pharmacy. We sent a questionnaire to 268 faculty members in August 2015, and a total of 192 were completed. The educational contents by respondents differed considerably. Only about 30% of respondents self-assessed the current EBM courses they taught as "fulfilling". Challenges such as "time deficits", "lack of exercise lessons and practical training", "limited awareness and skills of teachers", "lack of appropriate educational tools", and "insufficient academic ability of students" were mentioned.
