TY - JOUR T1 - PRogress in evidence-based medicine AU - Montori VM, Guyatt GH Y1 - 2008/10/15 N1 - 10.1001/jama.300.15.1814 JO - JAMA SP - 1814 EP - 1816 VL - 300 IS - 15 N2 - The article was audacious in suggesting that EBM represented a new paradigm in the teaching and practice of medicine by deemphasizing unsystematic clinical observations, pathophysiological inference, and authority. The article honored traditional skills (eg, understanding biology, demonstrating empathy), but emphasized new skills that learners must acquire and use: question formulation, search and retrieval of the best available evidence, and critical appraisal of the study methods to ascertain the validity of results. The article aggressively presented EBM as a fundamentally new approach. SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.300.15.1814 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.300.15.1814 ER -
