                                    | Abstract
 Objectives: To 
                                        investigate the effectiveness of the problem 
                                        based teaching integration in medical 
                                        schools compared with traditional teaching 
                                        on residents EBM performance.
 Materials and 
                                        Methods: We conducted a questionnaire 
                                        based, cross-sectional survey among all 
                                        residents from various medical specialties 
                                        for 6 years from 2008 to 2013. Result and Conclusion: 
                                        Two hundred and twenty nine first year 
                                        residents participated in the study. 75.3% 
                                        of the participants had evidence based 
                                        medicine in their curricula, either in 
                                        the academic or clinical years or both. 
                                        The majority of participants feel that 
                                        evidence based medicine helped them in 
                                        their daily patient care practice. Key words:
