The resource comprises a series of online modules teaching the fundamental concepts of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) (Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply & Assess) supported by case studies, exercises, worked examples and quizzes. The aim of the current study (undertaken in 2019) was to review ‘EBVM Learning’ to ensure its ongoing relevance and usefulness to the range of learners engaged in EBVM. Feedback was gathered from stakeholder groups using website statistics and feedback forms, a survey and semi-structured interviews to provide a combination of quantitative and qualitative data.</p> <p>Website statistics revealed an international audience and a steady increase in visitors exceeding 1,000 per month in August 2020. Feedback via the online form (n=35) and survey (n=71) indicated that the resource was well structured, with an appropriate level and amount of content, useful examples and quizzes and the majority of respondents would use it again. Semi-structured interviews of educators (n=5) and veterinarians (n=8) identified three themes: features of the ‘EBVM Learning’ resource (strengths, suggestions for improvement), embedding the resource in education (undergraduate, postgraduate) and promoting EBVM (challenges, motivation for engagement). At a project team workshop the results were used to plan updates to the existing content and to identify new ways to promote learning and engagement. An updated version of ‘EBVM Learning’ was developed.</p> <p>‘EBVM Learning’ is helping to produce the next generation of evidence-based practitioners and enabling to engage in the concepts of EBVM as part of their clinical practice.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access"> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed"></p>}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Evidence}, author={Sellers, Ellie and Baillie, Sarah and Dean , Rachel and Warman, Sheena and Janicke, Heidi and Arlt, Sebastian P and Boulton, Clare and Brennan, Marnie and Brodbelt, David and Brown, Fiona and Buckley, Louise and Du, Myai and Gallop, Emma and Goran, George and Grindlay, Douglas JC and Haddock, Laura and Ireland, Joanne and McGowan, Catherine and Moberly, Heather K and Place, Emma and Rahman, Md Mizanur and Rees, Gwen and Reyher, Kristen and Sanchez, Javier and Schoeman, Johan P and Urdes, Laura and VanLeeuwen, John and Verheyen, Kristien}, year={2021}, month={Feb.} }
