BiomedicineWorks is an innovative 5-year Phase I and II SEPA project that introduces evidence-based medicine (EBM) tools to explore and understand the importance of published clinical trials. Using real physicians in filmed hospital settings with scripted patient encounters, this project will provide high school students and teachers with an understanding of how doctors learn to best care for their patients through the analysis of clinical trials.
