Abstract
In their very useful introduction to this textbook, C. Carrie Liu and Jennifer Shin describe evidence-based medicine as “the systematic search and evaluation of literature and then applying these findings to clinical decision-making.” This succinct description is intuitively appealing to any clinician hoping to improve his or her own clinical decision-making, and the authors expand it into a discussion that will prove a valuable reference for any reader of this book.
