Infinite thanks for this video. As a massage therapist, my education in reading high tier research is minimal. Learning how to interpret EBM will be a critical component towards my professional enrichment.
Thank you for your videos.

Thank you Dr Eric for summarizing the difficulty and fear in a lot of junior doctors like myself in applying EBM in my day to day practice. In particular, your point about not blindly following algorithms but instead integrating patient values, communications and clinical judgements reminds me of the intricacy in serving in the medical field.

Outstanding, as usual. A comprehensive introduction to such a fundamental subject worldwide and one that has become specially so, here in Brazil! Looking forward to the next instalments of this series, Dr. Eric.

tks a lot DOC for your commitment

I was taught "TIPCO" as the acronym (versus PICO)
The "T" stands for "Time" (e.g. Treatment for 5-weeks, or 10-year survival, etc).
- we were taught that these are the variables (in addition to a patient's informed preference) that allow you to decide if a study applies to your individual patient.
Thanks for another great lecture!

The term "evidence-based" is now a dated term and is based on the medical model of health. The term "evidence-informed" is preferred b/c it not only depends on published evidence, but professional opinions, best practice guidelines (e.g., for COVID-19, Ebola) that often are fluid and evolving in nature, community partners and stakeholders (e.g., Indigenous elders). Cheers, Dr. Wally J. Bartfay

Pls define placebo... really we know how exactly placebo works?

[TheFirstManticore]

A change in clinical guidelines forced me to leave my doctor of 20 years! Would he have treated me so badly if he had not been forced?

[surashukri]

Thank you very much, very nice explanation, but l have question
Is evidence based medicine depends on others studies?
Is patient expectation is most important than experience and evidence?
