This study showed that GP registrars who attended the online course reported that it improved their knowledge, confidence, skill and practice of EBM over the period of three months. Of those, some were GP-related including their perception of EBM, and being comfortable with what they already learnt some were work-place related such as time, the influence of supervisors, access to resources and one was related to patient preferences. Registrars identified factors that influenced the impact of the course. The students perceived the course increased their understanding of EBM with a Cohen’s d of 1.6. They stated that the course improved their confidence, knowledge, and skills and consequently impacted their practice. The data showed the registrars were generally positive towards the course and the concept of EBM.

A thematic analysis approach was used to analyse the data from qualitative interviews. Those who completed the course within the six months prior to data collection were invited to participate in semi-structured phone interviews about their experience with the course and the impact of the course on clinical practice. GP registrars who completed the online course during 2016–2020 were invited to complete an online survey about their experience and satisfaction with the course. The course comprised six modules that aimed to increase knowledge of research methods and application of EBM skills to everyday practice. Mixed-method data collection was conducted after individual registrars’ completion of the course. it was interactive and used multiple teaching methods). The course was developed by content-matter experts with educational designers to encompass effective teaching methods (e.g. We aimed to describe and evaluate the acceptability, utility, satisfaction and applicability of the GP registrars experience with the online course. There are limited studies on the impact of online EBM training on clinical practice among general practitioner (GP) registrars (trainees in specialist general practice). Online EBM education could improve clinicians’ skills in EBM, particularly when it is conducted during vocational training. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a core skillset for enhancing the quality and safety of patients’ care.
