There is a significant gap between the scientific knowledge available, its effectiveness, and application in daily practice. Evidence-based practice consists of scientific evidence, clinical experience, and patient preferences. Journal clubs are well known teaching methods within clinical disciplines. The purpose of this module is to assist educators in designing online assignments using journal clubs to promote evidence-based practice and critical appraisal skills using the group process. Learning Objectives: Describe the components of evidence-based practice and guided journal clubs. 1) Develop and implement a guided journal club assignment with a learning management system for higher education students. 2) Assess the student’s satisfaction, knowledge, evidence practice abilities, group process skills, and application to practice or experiential learning activities. This Faculty Development Program will be developed in the Moodle Learning Management System. The course format will be based on Course Alignment Principles. The Peralta Equity Rubric will be utilized in construction of the faculty development program and in instructions for developing and implementing student assignments. The program will consist of two modules and require approximately 45 minutes each for a total of 1 ½ hours. Resources will include posted files, folders, links to websites, videos, and discussion formats. Upon conclusion of the course the participant will complete a Course Evaluation that will address the course navigation, content, instructor effectiveness, satisfaction, and future plans for utilizing the content.
