The Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health was a pioneer in Brazil by being one of the first medical schools to create a mandatory subject dedicated to the knowledge of EvidenceBased Medicine (EBM). Traditional approaches to Medicine Based on Evidence (MBE) have a complex connotation, distancing the health professional from the scientific paradigm. We intend to democratize methodological learning, presenting it in a simple way and aligned with clinical decision-making. The essence of MBE is not the scientific production by the health professional, but the consumption of scientific evidence in clinical decision making. This must be the domain of every professional, researcher or nonresearcher. There is a scarcity of interventions aimed at the democratization of EBM, and we see this gap as an opportunity to contribute to a cultural evolution within the reasoning in health. Such interventions take place through internal courses (undergraduate and graduate), extension courses aimed at the external public and publications in simple and didactic language. We aim to demystify the complexity of the subject, making people understand and like the cultural environment.
The effectiveness of clinical decisions depends on synergy with patient preference. Many preferences are influenced by an unscientific culture. We believe that the scientific paradigm must be culturally present in a society, promoting a synergism between the scientific position of a professional and a decision shared with the patient. Thus, we cannot limit scientific education to professionals, as it must be universal. This ⟹ the development of actions that open dialogue with society about what scientific thinking in health is all about.

Some of the objectives of the subject Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) include
I. Encourage the health professional to engage in as much scientific production as possible so as to improve his learning on the subject.
II. Enable the health professional to make use of every scientific evidence in the existing literature when making a clinical decision.
III. Provide people with the required understanding of scientific concepts in order to be able to make the best possible decision together with the health professional.
IV. Give top priority to detailed analysis of studies based on complex theories so as to endorse unproven treatments.
