Self-perceived competence correlates poorly with objectively measured competence in evidence based medicine among medical students.
Previous studies report various degrees of agreement between self-perceived competence and objectively measured competence in medical students. There is still a paucity of evidence on how the two correlate in the field of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). We undertook a cross-sectional study to evaluate the self-perceived competence in EBM of senior medical students in Malaysia, and assessed its correlation to their objectively measured competence in EBM. ⋯ International Medical University, Malaysia, research ID: IMU 110/06.
