In this kickoff episode on Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), Dr. Busti explains what EBM is—and what it isn’t. You’ll learn why the classic Venn diagram (evidence, expertise, and patient factors) matters, and how the "Five A’s"—Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Assess—create a practical framework for clinical decision-making. We also unpack related terms like evidence-based practice, practitioner, and expert, showing how they fit together and why balance between literature, training, and patient preferences is essential. Perfect for students and early-career clinicians ready to ground their practice in the why behind the how.
