the definitive guide to evidence-based practice,
By
This review is from: Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
As a researcher and teacher of EBP I found this book to be incredibly useful as a guide and a reference. It provides a clear definition of EBP (EBM) in its broadest context. This book also sets out in clear steps how the process works, and develops, with concise information on how to implement evidence, and how to teach this implementation to heaalth care students and workers.

Essential review of current approaches to clinical pratice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
This manual provides a very comprehensive introduction to modern clinical practice. It succeeds in giving practical advice for accessing the best evidence quickly and effectively. In addition, the text is complemented by a CD and links to a website that promises constant updates. This stretching beyond the traditional textbook format is very much in keeping with the EBM philosophy.EBM offers an exciting focus on a scientific integration of wider epidemiology with individual patient requirements. Such a powerful approach, necessarily understading of patient values, is essential to modern health care.

Fine Primer,
By R. Albin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
This well done book is partly an introduction to teaching/practicing Evidence Based Medicine (EBM)and partly an act of evangelism. The authors are concerned not only with describing the basic methods of EBM but also with convincing readers that this is the appropriate way to practice and teach clinical medicine. EBM and its precursor movements are based on the correct realization that physicians tend not to be very critical about clinical practice, much of which is learned by emulation. This book builds on an existing movement and the presence of widely available online resources to tap into appropriate critical evaluations of clinical practice. In doing so, the authors attempt to educate physicians about how to use these resources, relatively simple statistical tools that can be incorporated into application of good clinical literature to practice, and how to teach these methods. Because the authors are academics who wish to influence medical education, there is a good deal of emphasis on educational methods. While this may be an apparent short coming for readers who are not academics, it is actually worthwhile for all physicians because self-education is a constant part of our job. This book is very well done with some nice features. It is small and has a durable plastic cover, designed to carried in pockets or in a medical bag, there is a small CD with good examples, and a set of plasticized flash cards on major key points. Drawbacks are relatively minor. More information on how to analyze clinical trials and studies would be useful but in a concise book, something has to give way. Used carefully, the information in this book may change your practice and teaching methods.

The standard for teaching EBM,
By Rhett Jackson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
As a physician-teacher of EBM to internal medicine residents, this is the best book I've run across for this purpose. We utilize the reader's guides, first published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and later in JAMA, written by Guyatt, Sackett, and others, which are perfectly complemented by this volume. I recommend it to all of the residents and have purchased multiple copies for house staff use (although I can't seem to keep them on the shelf...) It makes learning EBM fun and highlights its usefulness and, most importantly for busy physicians, speed. Worth reading for every physician interested in practicing medicine based on only the best evidence.

Concise and precise,
By Adrian Mondry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
Concise and precise- just what the busy clinician wants to see. And for whoever needs more info, there is an extra CD Rom that preovides just that. Few medical books had more impact on my professional behavior than this one. Buy it, read it, and follow its advise!
