title: The Evidence-Based Study Club: a practical means to facilitate EBD awareness and implementation.
abstract: The study club model can be a highly effective method to advance the awareness, implementation, and dissemination of the evidence-based dental (EBD) practice approach. Three concepts for developing and facilitating a successful evidence-based study club are described. Simple approaches for study club development and management are introduced. The importance of implementing the EBD approach in practice before teaching EBD is reviewed. The value in starting or joining an evidence-based study club soon after initiating EBD implementation is illustrated.
