TIME TO MOVE TOWARD THE VALUE BASED MEDICAL EDUCATION (VBME) TO VALUE BASED PRACTICE

Abstract

Clinical decision making is a competence which based on both evidence and values. Medical
educationists have consensus onintegrating evidence based medicine teaching in curriculum.
Either, a well-designed medical education shouldhelp students become proficient in recognizing
and managing values that can subconsciously affect their clinical decisions and judgments. There
are difficulties in decision making when clinicians face in diversity of values. It is a responsibility
of all education system to plan the programs to solve these difficulties. Evidence based education
is needed since increasing complexity of the evidence supports medical decision-making, so,
increasingly, do we need VBME due to the increasing complexity of the values corroborate
medical decision making.
