About this title

Synopsis

Users' Guide to the Medical Literature: Essentials of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice will help you develop the core knowledge you need to take control of the medical literature -- to uncover the relevant information, assess its validity and determine whether it applies to your patient. The pocket-sized Essentials is succinct yet thorough in its exposition of the concepts, making it the ideal text to tote along on the wards. Affordably priced, the book offers:

-A thorough, comprehensive and clinician-friendly evidence-based medicine toolkit

-Why framing the right question is so important

-How to find and distinguish between strong and weak evidence

-What's needed to critically appraise the best evidence

-How to weigh the risks and benefits that precede medical management decisions

-How to individualize evidence to each patient

-A CD-ROM to enable intuitive, nonlinear learning experiences in coordination with the text

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
