#39 Evidence Based Medicine - Finding data and critical appraisal with Dr Michael Tam GP

May 14, 2018

Dr Michael Tam is a GP, Senior Lecturer at The University of Sydney, Discipline of General Practice and Founder of "Morsels of Evidence - EBM for GPs" at evidencebasedmedicine.com.au

Today we get into some pearls and common errors in EBM.  

- How to analyse new information for use in GP
- What online resources are good for EBM searching
- Assessing data and trials
- How we can explain concepts like relative risk reduction, absolute risk reduction and needed number to treat to patients
- Some bias in trials to be aware of e.g. changing end points, p-hacking 
- Good resources for clinicians on further EBM training
 
Enjoy!
