Dear Pawandeep I hear that UCL has one of the best undergraduate EBM courses, so its interesting to here of this essay. I would suggest EBM generally encourages a thoughful and individual-patient focused process rather than a "cookbook" approach. While some guidelines are cookbookish, guidelines are a tiny part of EBM. Indeed there is no one standard way to "do" EBM. There are several interviews of different styles of EBM available on: http://www.cebm.net/index.aspx?o=4648 (About 5-10 minutes each) Best wishes Paul Glasziou Pawandeep Notta wrote: > Dear All > > I am a third year medical student from University College London currently > writing a dissertation investigating whether the development of EBM > hierarchies of evidence encouraged cook book medicine and has this been > positive? > > Answers from list members to the following questions would be helpful: > > 1.
