This compact guide condenses the most clinicallyrelevant content of the landmark Users' Guides to the Medical Literature to help you incorporate evidence-based medicine into your practice.

You will learn the principles of evidence-based medicine, how your practice can benefit from the constant stream of new medical literature, and how to differentiate good medical evidence from that which is inadequate or misleading.

This edition includes numerous updates, several newchapters, and a greater emphasis on the role of patientpreferences and preappraised resources.

"A 21st century clinician who cannot critically read a study is as unprepared as one who cannot take a blood pressure or examine the cardiovascular system", Glasziou et al. BMJ 2008;337:a1253

I can't think of a better, more concise - but still comprehensive - guide to Evidence-Based Medicine.

This is an excellent, concise, summary of evidence based practice. Be aware that this is the "essentials" version. This is not the full length textbook.
