Abstract
The authors present results of 10 years of experience in developing and teaching a seminar on how to think critically and do research. This seminar has been taught at three different institutions by the authors and adapted at other institutions as well. Authors present and discuss short-term outcome measures based on an objective test and self-assessment survey as well as some more long-term findings. They also address the value and feasibility of adapting this course to other institutions and other medical specialties.
