Implementation of intervention in new introductory EBHC course (under development)

Course starts
Phase 1 of intervention
Individual work, online (‘flipped classroom’) Half day	Students introduce themselves to evidence of unreliable claims and uninformed choices (background), and IHC Key Concepts Students find or are assigned mass media content, extract and break down claims, reflect on relevant IHC Key Concepts
In-person workshop with instructor Half day	Instructor summarises online content, focusing on what students say was most difficult, introduces assignment
Phase 2 of intervention
Group work, in-person and/or online Half day	Groups discuss each member’s claim and reflections Each group selects one claim, and at least one relevant IHC Key Concept, choose format for assignment (e.g. text or video) Groups submit assignment in chosen format, illustrating concept(s) using selected claim as example
Course continues
End of intervention	Instructor marks assignment (pass/fail) Students turn claims into clinical question, move on to other evidence-based practice core competencies
