| "Evidence-based medicine (EBM)
is the integration of best research evidence with
clinical expertise and patient values…When these
three elements are integrated, clinicians and
patients form a diagnostic and therapeutic alliance
which optimizes clinical outcomes and quality of
life." (Sackett et al., 2000) |

| "Evidence-based
medicine is a natural evolution in medicine that
fits very well into the osteopathic philosophy.
Historically, physicians practiced medicine without
any significant research literature basis. The next
step, then, was to develop a literature base that
supported what physicians did. Evidence-based
medicine is a third step, which is to take the
literature base, combine it with what you know about
the patient, their values, the patient's
personality, their physical examination, and their
history, and develop a treatment plan that has a
strong basis in the medical literature. This is a
priority for our College. I would like to see almost
all therapy that we teach in the College of
Osteopathic Medicine based on the research
literature and integrated with the patient's unique
clinical situation." |
