A movement advocating the use of evidence‐based practice (EBP) is increasingly influencing health care and the practice of psychology. Thus, teaching evidence‐based practice in psychology (EBPP) is critical to the preparation of future health service psychologists. In this article, the authors address common myths associated with EBP, propose core components involved in teaching EBPP, and describe an example of how such training can be incorporated into a professional psychology education and training curriculum. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
