Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, 3rd ed

• The Users' Guides is the centerpiece of EBM theory on JAMAevidence. 
• Some of the online features include education guide slide sets that compliment the chapters, audio summaries, and critical appraisal and information cycle worksheets.

The Rational Clinical Examination: Evidence-Based Clinical Diagnosis

• Available for the first time in a single compilation, The Rational Clinical Examination articles and updates turn EBM theory into practice via topically organized chapters.
• The Make the Diagnosis sections of The Rational Clinical Examination summarize current evidence for clinical evaluation of a topic; compiling the evidence to make a diagnosis; and applying the evidence.
• This text demonstrates the correct way to learn the medical history and physical examination, giving direction in interpreting the results and answering questions that typical physical examination textbooks do not systematically address. There is a science behind the art of clinical examination.

JAMA Guide to Statistics and Methods

• This is a new practical guide to help clinicians understand increasingly complex methodologies and statistical analyses now used in clinical research. 
• It was written without equations and specifically avoiding excessively detailed discussions about underlying assumptions, mathematical limitations, etc. The book is presented in narrative form, explaining abstract statistical concepts in such a way that clinicians can understand. 

Care at the Close of Life: Evidence and Experience

• This groundbreaking resource offers expert guidance and carefully reviewed evidence on caring for patients at the end of life. It focuses on practical, real-world issues faced by primary care physicians and covers topics from communication issues to disease management to clinician self-care.
• The textbook was designed for all clinicians who care for patients facing serious progressive or terminal illness and their families. The book addresses the clinical reality that patient care cannot always be guided solely by the results of even the best population-based research but must also incorporate the clinician's experience, intuition, and compassion.
• It includes a self-assessment quiz and review questions in each chapter to ensure mastery of key concepts.
• The book will be useful to medical, nursing, and pharmacy students; interns and residents; social workers, chaplains; psychologists; physical, occupational, and rehabilitation therapy students; and hospice workers and volunteers.
