Abstract

To measure improvement in evidence-based practice (EBP) question formulation skills in physician assistant (PA) students using a new approach that included a rubric. Quasi-experiment study design featuring pre- and posttests in which the participants are their own controls using a paired t-test to measure skills improvement. Physician assistant students increased their skills in formulating EBP questions by a statistically significant margin. This new approach to teaching EBP question formulation with its rubric offers a vehicle for training PA students in question formulation skills that is potentially more versatile than the conventional PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) approach.
