Evidence-based medicine has a large variety of different sub-fields. Let’s begin our journey towards one of them – evidence-based physical examination.
Faculty of 1000 just announced that their subsite – F1000Trials – is finished with the beta-testing. Let’s check it out!
Faculty of 1000 is a quadruple resource that allows you to search for articles, publish your own material in an open-access journal, and provides you with a place to store your posters and presentation slides. Check it out!
This tutorial teaches the essentials about the statistics in medicine and covers various aspects of normal distribution (ND): central limit theorem, properties of ND, NDs with different means and with different variances, variables that follow a ND, normal plot and introduction to t-distribution
A must-have tutorial on how to critically appraise research.
QMP Medical Statistics Tutorials are a great place to start learning about the principles of evidence-based medicine. The probability & significance test, in my opinion, should be one of the first tutorials for a medical student.
This tutorial teaches you about one of the biggest enemies of strong evidence in clinical research – bias, as well as measurements and outcomes in the clinical trial.
Evidence-Based Medicine is a growing field that has already made a tremendous impact on world healthcare. It’s only rational to teach it to medical students from the beginning, however, this is not always the case. Let me give you an example: me.

This blog introduces you to the concept of confounding. There is a clear explanation and then examples and methods to minimise the effect of confounding during study design and statistical analysis.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can be subject to different kinds of bias. Read about different sources of bias in this blog and how much the magnitude of effect can be changed by the presence of bias.
This new webpage from Cochrane UK is aimed at students of all ages. What is evidence-based practice? What is ‘best available research evidence’? Which resources will help you understand evidence and evidence-based practice, and search for evidence?
