Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.

There are different ways of saying "Evidence-Based Practice" in different fields of medicine and healthcare. Here is just a few ways you may see it being written. The important thing to remember is that EBP is the same in all fields.
Our librarians have co-authored hundreds of evidence synthesis articles. Our staff is continually trained on new search methodologies and processes.
We adhere to the requirements for authorship and contributorship of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
