Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) combines individual clinical expertise with the best available clinical evidence from systematic research in making decisions about the care of individual patients. Skills needed to practice EBM include question building, database searching and critical appraisal. The Library supports Evidence-based Medicine by helping to teach question building and effective searching skills. Librarians teach in a variety of settings, including Morning Report and Journal Clubs. Sessions are customized to the specialty and training needs of the learners and focus on using the Medical Center Library resources.
