About the Seminar
Dr. Richardson discussed the various facets of evidence-based medicine—what it is, why we need it, and how to practice it. He engaged in a discussion on how clinicians can learn to practice evidence-based medicine even if they have already completed their formal training. He also examined what it would take to incorporate evidence-based medicine into the newer curricula of medical schools, illustrating how his teaching institution is doing this.
