Slide notes:Many resources are available to support evidence-based medicine. They not only describe how to practice it but also demystify a lot of the ideas and techniques behind it. One of these is a book by Straus [ strous ] and colleagues, informally known as the Sackett Book because it was the original book on evidence-based medicine authored by David Sackett of McMaster University before he retired. Straus is now the editor of the book, which is in its fourth edition. Two books by Guyatt and colleagues, including several authors from McMaster University, originated as a series of articles published in the Journal of the American Medical Association or JAMA [ jam- uh] under the broad heading of Users Guides to the Medical Literature. In 2015, the third edition of these two books came out. The first, subtitled A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice , is an encyclopedic reference to the clinical applications of EMB. The second, subtitled Essentials of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice , is a condensed handbook that covers the most clinically relevant content of its parent manual. Plenty of websites also offer information on evidence-based medicine, some of which are listed here: http:// www.cebm.net [ H-T-T-P-colon-forward-slash-forward-slash- W-W-W-dot-C-E-B-M-dot-net] http://www.cche.net [ H-T-T-P-colon-forward-slash-forward-slash- W-W-W-dot-C-C-H-E-dot-net] http://www.nettingtheevidence.org.uk [ H-T-T-P-colon-forward-slash-forward-slash- W-W-W-dot-netting-the-evidence-dot-org-dot-U-K] 5
