AB  - The Fourth-year Academic Clinical Training and Teaching Selective (FACTTS) is a 
      course taught by medical and library faculty on the practice of evidence-based 
      medicine and critical appraisal of the medical literature. This study assesses 
      the impact of the course on students' understanding of the subject matter by 
      examining three years of pre- and post-test data and addresses whether the number 
      of sessions in the course affects the knowledge gained by the students. The data 
      show an improvement in the students' understanding of course material, but no 
      benefit was found in having two versus three sessions.
