*Evidence Based Medicine

The Ambulatory Internal Medicine clerkship offers an Evidence Based Medicine seminar in which students work in pairs to formulate a clinical question, perform a literature search and co-present a "critically appraised topic" (CAT) to their peers and to a clinician-educator faculty member. The faculty member facilitates a discussion of the applicability of the CAT findings to the care of patients.
