Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (Toronto)
The goal of this website is to help develop, disseminate, and evaluate resources that can be used to practice and teach EBM for undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education for health care professionals from a variety of clinical disciplines. This site also serves as support for the book entitled, Evidence-based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM by Sharon E. Straus, W. Scott Richardson, Paul Glasziou and R. Brian Haynes (3rd edition).
BMJ EBM Toolkit
The BMJ's free EBM toolkit enables individuals to learn, practice and discuss EBM, and provides EBM tools. There is information introducing the key methods of EBM such as clarifying a clinical question, designing a search and appraising, synthesizing and assessing the quality of the evidence. Additionally, there is information intended to support and promote discussion around EBM.
