Customer Reviews

This is a concise and practical book for the physician.

This book serves as an excellent background to the practice of evidence-based medicine in the family physician's office. It concisely describes the core principles and the practical use for evidence-based medicine in today's medical environment. It would also fit well as a course introduction for medical students, residents, and experienced physicians. Yet, another tool that helps physicians enhance patient care by blending the science and art of medicine. I hope a book focusing on the practice of evidence-based medicine in the hospital setting is forthcoming.

Wonderful, clear, useful

This very useful book is appropriate for both students, residents and faculty interested in family medicine. The first few chapters offer what I think is the most clear introduction to EBM that I have yet read. Following this are many chapters on some of the most common topics encountered by family physicians .. with a uniquite addition: patient/physician discussion sheets .. that can be used for a discussion with a patient about the choices that are made together. In this way, shared decision-making is encouraged .. and the PRACTICE of EBM is smoothly facilitated.truly a gem of a book ...
