Better Evidence for Training

Better Evidence for Training builds the capacity of the next generation of leaders in the health workforce. We know that when provided access to clinical decision support tools in training, students continue to use such tools in practice. We partner with leading digital tools to facilitate free access to medical schools in Africa.

Since 2015, we have worked with UpToDate, providing free, institutional licenses to eligible medical schools and affiliated clinical sites. We have continued to expand our program to more schools and diversify our toolkit of resources. In 2022, we began working with Trip Pro, a clinical search engine for users to quickly and easily find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice.

To date, we have facilitated digital tool access to more than 95,000 students, residents, and faculty in 65 medical schools across 17 countries. We support representatives – Better Evidence Champions – from each of these participating medical schools to facilitate uptake, understanding, and use of these tools locally within their institutions.
