Jenicek (clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine and public health) and Hitchcock (philosophy, both McMasters U., Ontario) suggest to teachers in the health sciences how to choose the objectives of teaching; what to teach; how to teach it; and what to retain from the whole message for better practice, for better research, and for the benefit of the patient. They begin by setting out some basic and universally anchored principles and methods of logic and critical thinking. Then they apply these principles to various fields of medical endeavor, including working with the patient, conducting research, and handling health programs and policies in a community setting.
