This article reports the experience of teaching the first course in Brazil on the Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology (EBPP), offered by the Institute of Psychology of the University of São Paulo. The course instructed students on the concepts of EBPP, primary and secondary sources of evidence, adequacy of the research question to the experimental design, single-subject design, observational studies, randomized controlled trials and implementation of systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis. It is noteworthy that the development of the discipline allowed reflections on the importance of EBPP in clinical, academic, institutional and public policy management on mental health. It is recommended the inclusion of EBPP course in the curriculum of undergraduate and graduate students in Psychology.
