Sinopsis

Jenicek (clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine and public health) and Hitchcock (philosophy, both McMasters U., Ontario) suggest to teachers in the health sciences how to choose the objectives of teaching; what to teach; how to teach it; and what to retain from the whole message for better practice, for better research, and for the benefit of the patient. They begin by setting out some basic and universally anchored principles and methods of logic and critical thinking. Then they apply these principles to various fields of medical endeavor, including working with the patient, conducting research, and handling health programs and policies in a community setting.

Reseña del editor

Evidence-Based Practice: Logic and Critical Thinking in Medicine provides easy access to fundamental principles, quickly assimilated techniques, and proven, rigorous application that demonstrates how logic and critical thinking are applied to the medical thinking process. This marriage allows health professionals to understand the critical use of evidence logically and in a structured, methodological way to make medical decisions. Such uses of evidence are the essence of Evidence-Based Practice as reflected in the spirit of this book. In order to ensure better patient outcomes, physicians have to learn how rational, practical uses of evidence allow organized decision-making in practice and research. In a textbook format, Evidence-Based Practice: Logic and Critical Thinking in Medicine offers the reader principles and techniques in Part One. Part Two shows the application of logic and critical thinking to clinical problem solving in practice, medical research, and public health.
