An Integrated, Case-Based Approach to Teaching Medical Students How to Locate the Best Available Evidence for Clinical Care

Introduction A major step of the evidence-based medicine (EBM) process is to locate the most current evidence in support of clinical care. This requires identifying and searching appropriate evidence-based resources. Medical library faculty at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medici...
