Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice
http://pubs.ama-assn.org/misc/usersguides.dtl

Also available in print in the library.
This book grew out of a series of 25 articles published in JAMA between 1993 and 2000, the original Users' Guides to the Medical Literature. Clinicians and medical educators have found this series, which includes contributions by approximately 50 clinicians expert in evidence-based medicine, to be invaluable. The Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice goes beyond the Users' Guides in a number of ways. First, it incorporates the advances in clinical research that have taken place during the past 7 years relevant to understanding sources of bias in research studies, quantifying the magnitude of benefits and risks, and incorporating patient values. Second, it incorporates what we have learned about how to better teach evidence-based medicine (EBM) concepts and approaches to clinicians. Third, it clearly distinguishes what we believe every clinician should know about EBM (Part 1 of this book) from what those who wish to role-model and teach EBM should know (Part 2).
