Evidenced Based Medicine

• Bandolier (Systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in PubMed and the Cochrane Library are selectively chosen for discussion monthly.)
• Critical Appraisal Columns (Well organized list of relevant medical topics, critical analysis of associated research and its application in clinical practice. Provided by The College of Family Physicians of Canada.)
• Cochrane Reviews (Comprehensive, updated collection of evidence-based medicine topics. Data base is searchable for abstract and summaries. Full text available in the Cochrane Library.)
• EBM online (You may access a brief "Extract" of all available content but access to full text is restricted to subscribers. Pay per article and other non-subscriber plans available.)
• trip database (Mission is: "allow health professionals to easily find the highest-quality material available on the web - to help support evidence based practice." Comprehensive, searchable database will help you find the most relevant, evidence-based articles on your topic of interest.)
• UofM EBM Peds (University of Michigan's Evidenced-Based Pediatric Web Site.)
• BestBets ("BETs bring the evidence one step closer to the bedside, by providing answers to very specific clinical problems, using the best available evidence. Each Topic answers a carefully worded 3-part question, using a structured approach to finding and reviewing the literature. BETs are designed specifically for Emergency Medicine.")
• General Practice Notebook (Well organized, practical synopsis of relevant evidenced-based clinical medicine topics for primary care clinicians. Very useful for practicing clinicians.)

The following Web sites are dedicated to the clinical discipline of Evidenced-Based Medicine (EBM). The EBM philosophy is often defined as using current best clinical evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.
