title: [Evidence-based methods of medicine in specialization training: a neonatologic problem as an example].
abstract: One of the objectives of the qualification of medical specialists is familiarization to the scientific literature of the future special field. We describe a training project, in which doctors specializing in pediatrics collected and evaluated the current scientific data on the closure of the arterial duct in premature infants. Main emphasis in the article is put on the setting of the questions to be elucidated, acquisition of the required information, evaluation of the degree of evidence, and how reliably these questions can be answered on the basis of the current information. We recommend arranging evidence-based medical training for specializing doctors.
