Affordably priced, the book offers: a thorough, comprehensive and clinician-friendly evidence-based medicine toolkit; why framing the right question is so important; how to find and distinguish between strong and weak evidence; what's needed to critically appraise the best evidence; how to weigh the risks and benefits that precede medical management decisions; how to individualize evidence to each patient; and, a CD-ROM to enable intuitive, nonlinear learning experiences in coordination with the text.Also available is the "Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice", which together with "Essentials of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice" provide the most detailed yet clinical-friendly exposition of the concepts necessary to use the medical literature to solve patient problems.
