Great evidence-based guideline for healthcare practitioners by Christopher Dela Rosa (Westmont, IL)

This book really helped me to understand fully the concept of evidence-based medicine and how to integrate it to my profession. I am a physical therapist and I have learned a lot from this book. The authors provided links that would help the reader that can help in practicing evidence-based medicine. Overall, it is an excellent book!

Well done, but.... by Rosanna Tarsiero (Pisa, Italy)

This book is well done from an educational perspective. You'll find nice diagrams, figures, a CD-ROM, and everything you need in order to assimilate it nicely. References are provided and well organized. As usual when it comes to EBM (and paradoxically), it lacks a little bit in introspection, like for example when it claims that basically the only real limitation of EBM is that the physician needs to acquire new skills, while other criticisms (such as the "cookbook" approach or the fact that it might tend toward saving money against the benefit of the patients) are dismissed as "concerns" on how the method is (or will be) used. The authors genuinely sound like thinking EBM should always be applied everywhere to every problem, and that borders with black-vs-white thinking, which is dangerous in and of itself. However, if you are interested in knowing EBM, how to apply it, where to find resources, etc, this book is most definitely for you.

Sackett's EBM is the Bible for anyone conducting systematic review. It is THE how-to guide for clinical medicine SR and a great starting point for thinking about SR in the social sciences. Thank you Dr. Sackett for bringing SR to the masses.

Evidence Based Medicine by Lori Richardson, M.D. (Fort Worth, TX)

This is an excellent "how to" manual for those who are serious about learning how to apply evidence based medicine principles. Lots of folks talk about "evidence based medicine" but few really know what it means. This is obviously intended as a teaching tool for residents but is equally useful for any physician who is interested in learning the principles required to do the best job for his/her patient. The size and summary cards are handy for carrying with you wherever you may need them! Easy to read but with great substance.
