Competence in evidence-based medicine (EBM) is an important clinical skill. Pediatrics residents are expected to acquire competence EBM during their education, yet few validated tools exist assess residents' skills.We sought develop a reliable tool evaluate skills the critical appraisal of research article, development written critically appraised topic (CAT) synopsis, and presentation findings colleagues.Instrument used modified Delphi technique.
