The two groups therefore may react differently to new teaching interventions, such as computer based teaching.
The lowest score was for service based teaching.
Simulator based teaching proved to be more resource intensive.
Our recommendation is that computer based teaching is a ready alternative to lecture based teaching in EBM for postgraduates.
These include teaching EBM in the form of journal club meetings as well as classroom based teaching [ 7- 12].
While didactic teaching has been superseded by more advanced educational methods, it can be argued that, where resources are limited, lecture based teaching still has a place in obtaining a good undergraduate standard.
EC recorded the web based teaching and assisted JD in teaching the sessions.
He now runs the year 3 community based teaching programme.
Lecture based teaching is common in postgraduate and continuing education.
Participants' felt that clinical/hospital based teaching (3.49±0.65), case discussions (3.45±0.68) and teaching aids (3.10±0.89) would be the most important teaching strategies to improve their competency in Neurology.
Our trial suggests that computer based teaching is a viable alternative to lectures, at least for the teaching of EBM.
