MBE Center
In yet another pioneering action, the Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública launches its Evidence-Based Medicine Center, which was created with the mission of teaching and researching evidence-based clinical practice, contributing to the dissemination of the scientific paradigm, in addition to promoting the construction of new knowledge in EBM and fostering the development of lightweight technologies that bring innovation to medical thinking. The core comes with the vision to make the Bahiana an institution nationally and internationally recognized as a promoter of science-based clinical practice.

Considering the representativeness of Bahiana in the field of evidence-based medicine and the potential of this subject to germinate a successful journal, the first Brazilian medical journal focused on this topic was created: Journal of Evidence-Based Health Care. The editorial board was chosen to academically bring together the main national names associated with Evidence-Based Medicine. This journal will be the center's main form of scientific communication.


History Bahiana xMBE
Bahiana was a pioneer in Brazil by being one of the first medical schools to create a mandatory subject dedicated to knowledge of Evidence-Based Medicine. Ten years ago, the Evidence-Based Clinical Reasoning (RCBE) discipline emerged, since then taught by prof. Luís Correia to the sixth semester students, and, in the last two years, also with the participation of prof. ª Alessandra Caldas.

Allied to this, numerous initiatives have been developed, such as the creation of the Evidence-Based Medicine Blog, which currently has 2,3 million hits, international partnerships (United States, Germany, Italy), the Choosing Wisely na initiative Bahiana, the creation of the MBE research group, linked to the graduate program of the Bahiana, among others.

Realizing this context and the existence of a critical mass of activities and people, the Bahiana launches the MBE Center in order to organize and leverage these actions, giving national and international visibility to the institution's initiatives.
