Scientific and medical information resources provider McGraw-Hill Professional, US, and medical journal JAMA have announced the joint development and launch of a new state-of-the-art digital resource, JAMAevidence (http://www.jamaevidence.com). Updated monthly, the learning tool is designed to meet the needs of students, educators, and practitioners alike.
JAMAevidence provides medical students, residents, educators, and clinicians with the fundamental tools required for understanding and applying the medical literature and making clinical diagnoses. It provides full-text access to both the second edition of The User's Guides to the Medical Literature and the newly published The Rational Clinical Examination. In JAMAevidence these titles are combined with online-only content, updates, teaching tools, media, and interactive features to convey the best practices of evidence-based medicine - including the careful assessment and interpretation of medical research, as well as the application of that research to ensure the optimal care of the patient.
The online Education Guides enhance classroom and conference learning by offering detailed presentations on core topics in evidence-based medicine. The Education Guides are available to subscribers as both online slideshows and downloadable PowerPoint presentations. Interactive worksheets enable users to hone their critical appraisal skills and master the information cycle, while question wizards assist in formulating well-built clinical queries. Functional calculators and nomograms, organised by therapy, harm, diagnosis, and prognosis, provide evidence tools for use in daily practice. Finally, new podcasts are posted each month, bringing analysis and commentary from leaders in evidence-based medicine directly to users.
