Synopsis: It is hoped that his module will help clarify what EBM is and what it is not, especially in the general practice setting. As it has been written by GPs, its relevance for day to day clinical practice has been kept firmly in mind. It is aimed at enabling you to acquire new skills in finding and applying the lateast research evidence. This includes searching evidence databases on the internet, and critically appraising the information which you have retrieved. The course has been written on the assumption that you have not previously done courses in research methods or clinical epidemiology.
