Perhaps you've hit a clinical puzzle and need to solve it. Or perhaps you want to give a CME presentation brimming with evidence-based content.
On either count, you may find help through three entities the AAFP Board of Directors approved in early August as sources of evidence-based medicine. The new sources are DynaMed, InfoRetriever, and the Physicians' Information and Education Resource of the American College of Physicians.

AAFP OKs New Sources for EB CME
By News Staff
These three resources have just been added to AAFP-Approved Sources of Systematic Evidence Review under the heading "Subscription Required."
Background: The AAFP Commission on Continuing Medical Education recommends evidence-based medicine sources to the AAFP Board for its approval. The commission first reviews the sources and recommends them if they do the following:
- Provide consistent, reproducible search of the evidence.
- Document how evidence is reviewed and updated.
- Describe how strength of evidence is evaluated.
- Emphasize patient-oriented evidence over disease-oriented evidence.
- Involve family physicians and the family medicine perspective in the generation of content.
- Explicitly rate the strength of the evidence.
