    EBM - Synthesis

    Uploaded by

    Tsedkenu Cavan
    This document discusses evidence-based medicine (EBM) and its three main skills: research design, data analysis, and applying evidence to clinical practice. EBM is a systematic approach to using research evidence to guide healthcare decisions. It involves forming a focused clinical question, systematically searching for and retrieving evidence, and critically appraising the validity and results of studies. The applicable evidence must then be individualized based on patient factors to determine treatment effectiveness, diagnostic accuracy, prognosis or harm. Mastering EBM enables clinicians to make informed judgments based on the best available research evidence.
