title: Evidence-based medicine: medical practice in the third millennium.
abstract: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a growing international movement in health care that aims to bring the best evidence from medical research to the bedside, clinic and community. Evidence-based medicine de-emphasizes intuition, unsystematic clinical experience and pathophysiologic rationale as sufficient grounds for clinical decision-making and stresses the examination of evidence from clinical research. The aim of this paper is to familiarize the readers with the basic concept, methodology, resources of evidence-based medicine and its applicability in Pakistan.
