Dear All,
I am looking for suggestions please. I am trying to put together a
reading list of "essential" readings in EBM. These are ones beyond the
primer stage, aimed at postgraduates interested in an in-depth
understanding of EBM.
So do you have key articles you can suggest?
I have appended my tentative list below (but you might like to think
about your own first),
Many thanks
Paul Glasziou
