PubMed's Clinical EBM Filters
Dean Giustini has a nice concise post, Beyond Basic - Using PubMed's Clinical EBM Filters. As Dean states, "for most clinical questions, physicians do not always have time to do a proper lit review." PubMed's clinical queries are great for physicians need information and a lit review is too time consuming and Google Scholar is finding the answers.
What I like about Dean's post is that it is quick and short and can easily be tweaked for you to present to your doctor's to educate them on doing better searches. It can be presented in a 5 minutes to a doctor who comes in to the library learn everything about searching on their 15 minute break, or it can be presented quickly at a meeting to a group of physicians. It can also be sent out in a newsletter.
Just another resource to provide you with the opportunity to reach out to your people in ways that are relevant to them.
