* As an example, the first two indicators are fully described:

1 Education of trainees in EBM

Training scores 1 point for each item, maximum 5 points:

- Formulating a clinical question is part of the educational program and trainees make a PICO/CAT;

- During the educational session or through self-study, trainees learn how and where they can find and select literature);

- During the educational session, there is explicit attention for critically evaluating the literature;

- Applying the evidence to the patient is demonstrably part of the educational program; − Besides specific EBM educational programs, other programs also pay attention to the EBM principles.

2 Scientific research as internship for trainees

Training scores 1 point for each item, maximum 5 points:

- Research internship is offered;

- There are clear assessment criteria for research internship;

In the past two years:

- There have been at least two trainees who followed an internship or who conducted differentiation research;

- At least two trainees (during research internship) held a presentation at a congress;

- Internship or differentiation research has led to at least one scientific article.
