Abstract
The purpose of this brief report is twofold: to provide one teaching approach designed to help students and clinicians use the computing facilities available in their agencies to aid their clinical practice, and to highlight issues central to this training. The teaching model presented is based on a four-step process: Using the computer as a tool, the student moves through the process of identifying relevant practice based questions, to operationalizing these questions, to analyzing the data collected, and finally to interpreting and applying the results. This teaching innovation and our positive experience with it offers further support for the place of computers in a clinical practice curriculum and serves as a useful reference to other individuals, institutions, or agencies that are planning to offer similar training.
