title: Evidence-based everything.
abstract: Academic medicine often seems to be swayed more by fashion than science. Establishment team consensus is only needed where there is ambiguity. Evidence-based medicine is a new term for informed decision making and facilitated learning is purported to do away with authoritarian indoctrination. Problems that arise from the emphasis on team decisions, evidence based medicine and facilitated learning are discussed.
