ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards
Case-Based Instruction/Learning (CBL)
The use of patient cases (actual or theoretical) to stimulate discussion, questioning, problem solving, and reasoning on issues pertaining to the basic sciences and clinical disciplines. (Anderson, 2010, as cited in MedBiquitous Curriculum Inventory Working Group Standardized Vocabulary Subcommittee)
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
EBM curriculum focuses on five main steps:
1) ASK: form a clinical question2) ACQUIRE: locate medical information3) APPRAISE: critique medical information4) APPLY: Apply results to patients5) ASSESS: Reflect on process and outcomes
From Guiding Principles of Content Development (adapted from EBM: How to Practice and Teach it. 4th ed. Strauss. 2011)
Interprofessional Education (IPE)
Interprofessional education occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.
Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength."

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
The use of carefully selected and designed patient cases that demand from the learner acquisition of critical knowledge, problem solving proficiency, self-directed learning strategies, and team participation skills as those needed in professional practice.
(Esach and Bitterman, 2003; see also Major and Palmer, 2001; Cooke, Irby, and O'brien, 2010b; Barrows and Tamblyn, 1980, as cited in MedBiquitous Curriculum Inventory Working Group Standardized Vocabulary Subcommittee)
Team-Based Learning (TBL)
A form of collaborative learning that follows a specific sequence of individual work, group work and immediate feedback; engages learners in learning activities within a small group that works independently in classes with high learner-faculty ratios. (Anderson, 2010; Team-Based Learning Collaborative, n.d.; Thompson, Schneider, Haidet, Perkowski, and Richards, 2007, as cited in MedBiquitous Curriculum Inventory Working Group Standardized Vocabulary Subcommittee)
