“That’s great. But, isn’t everything you do in Medicine already evidence-based?” a dear friend pointedly asked after I told him I taught Evidence-Based Medicine. His question reflected the natu¬ral expectation our patients have about all our clinical decisions— that they are based on studies, and that we are familiar with the available data and confident in our assessment of new publica¬tions. Asking clinically relevant questions and evaluating the lit¬erature in search for answers is an enriching and essential component of any career in healthcare. However, the massive breadth and depth of medical publications pose a substantial chal¬lenge to students and healthcare professionals alike.
This brief book has been written as a tool to guide the reader of medical research, taking a practical, concise, and clinically ori¬ented approach. It is based on what I learned over many years of teaching Evidence-Based Medicine to Medicine residents and medical students at Columbia University Medical Center. Teach¬ing smart young people has been the greatest privilege of my medical career, and I have always viewed it as a modest attempt to pay back for the generous and masterful teachings I had received.
Early in my career, I was extremely fortunate to learn from George A. Diamond MD, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Cali¬fornia. George was a brilliant thinker, and he pioneered the innova¬tive application of Bayesian methods and a rigorous evidence-based approach to Cardiology. He was also an extremely patient teacher and had a wicked sense of humor. I hope my work, including this book, does a modicum of justice to his mentorship.
