Great Text

Very good book. Essential to every medical student and physician.

The best introduction to clinical epidemiology.

Sackett and colleagues have written the best introduction to clinical epidemiology for students and clinicians. Their approach helps clinicians and investigators see the value and pitfalls of quantitative approaches to clinical research. The explanations of Diagnosis and Management and the relationship between common clinical tools and epidemiology form the basics for the student to understand the emerging field of technology assessment in medicine. This book is must reading for the serious clinical investigator and student alike.

Excellent, concise review of practical techniques

Sackett's book is a classic. It walks the new or old and grizzled reader through the techniques of literature review, test interpretation, and probability-based clinical decision making. It has pocket cards attached to help with a variety of analytical and interpretive activities. It is a must read by anybody who wants to practice quality medicine. Hopefully, that's all of us.
