Rezensionen

"Evidence-based Medicine Toolkit (2nd edition) serves a long
time need for an evidence-based medicine (EBM) book that is both
reliable yet does not intimidate the reader by its voluminous
size...It is a highly portable book...that could easily fit
into students' coat pockets and is immensely readable and
complete...The excellent layout of the book with its prominent
display of key tables containing relevant information stands out
and make these tools readily usuable. In summary, the text is handy
and well organised and offers comprehensive information on EBM for
both medical students and busy practitioners conversant with the
basic principles of EBM."
