[Last but not least--the German Network EbM has got its glossary on EbM terms].
Evidence-based medicine is not self-explaining. But due to the use of methodological, technical and statistical terms beginners might find it difficult to get access to EbM. To overcome this hurdle, a working group of practising physicians and methodologists have developed a glossary for the German Network Evidence-based Medicine covering the most important terms and providing explanations by giving practical examples. Access is also possible through www.ebm-netzwerk.de/glossar.htm. The present glossary is just a start, though. Over the coming years more terms will have to be added according to the needs and suggestions of our readership. We thus call on active participation of its users.
