You are an EBM expert 2

Evidence based medicine is not an option. You MUST practice based on the best available science.
You are already an EBM expert
You might not think of yourself as such, but you are already an expert in the hard parts of evidence based medicine. You have good clinical judgement. You talk to patients about their values. But you are wasting those skills if you don't engage in the easy part of evidence based medicine: reading papers.

I know that evidence based medicine scares people. That stats seem complicated. Papers are often full of obtuse language. People are constantly debating small details at journal clubs, which can leave many physicians feeling inadequate. But I can assure you, evidence based medicine is easy. If I can do it, anyone can. The only difficult part is getting into the habit of actually picking up a paper and starting to read.
