This study aimed to compare medical students' performance in solving clinical cases before and after training in Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). A longitudinal study with medical students evaluated the impact of EBP training. Twenty-nine students (15 male, 14 female) participated in the study. The average age was 22.8 years, with the majority (51.7%) in the eighth semester. The Wilcoxon test showed an improvement in student performance after the training, with statistically significant differences in scores of -4.52, -3.92, -3.46, -4.62, and -4.70 (p<0.01) in clinical cases 1, 2, 3, and 4, and in the Fresno test, respectively. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between clinical cases.
