Title: Evidence\u00adBased Medicine: What is it, do I need it and how do I do it?
4.
Short Description: Much debate exists about what constitutes evidence and why we need

evidence to be good practitioners. The fact remains that medicine is not static\u2014new knowledge is
gained, paradigm shifts occur, and unfamiliar cases present to us. How can we sift through the
information to better inform our practice?

5.
Learning Objectives: At the end of the session attendees will:

a. Understand the definition of Evidence\u00adBased Medicine (EBM)
b. Be conversant with the hierarchy of evidence
c. Have a basic understanding of how to conduct the 4 steps of EBM
d. Feel energized to apply EBM to their own practice

Presentation Outline:

Are double\u00adblind randomized placebo\u00adcontrolled studies the only acceptable evidence?
Absolutely not! Is word of mouth considered evidence? Absolutely! But how much weight do we
give to each type of evidence, how do we critically evaluate it, and how do we apply it to our own
clinical practice?

Attendees will discover the true meaning of Evidence\u00adBased Medicine (EBM), and learn how
these principles can be applied to better inform any type of clinical practice. EBM does not
replace clinical skills or experience, but is a valuable and necessary tool for improved patient care.

Pharmacy: There will be no pharmacy CEU
Target Audience: Practitioners of all disciplines, students
