A champion of improved diagnosis and treatment using the best research evidence at point of care
One of the great innovations in general medical practice over the last several decades has been the wide acceptance and application of methodologies collectively known as Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). At McMaster University, Dr. Gordon Guyatt was one of its earliest and most effective champions. Concerned with the intersection between the individual clinician and the expanding universe of medical knowledge, EBM has sought to integrate the complex structures of medical science and technology with the acquired experience of practicing clinicians to best serve the needs, desires and values of patients.
