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.

-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
