AB The  evidence-based  medicine  (EBM)  movement—perhaps  officially  launched  in  1991  with  the  first  article  in  the  medical  literature  that  used  the  term,1,2  but  with  antecedents  that  go  back  considerably  further—advocates  that  systematic  summaries  of  the  highest  quality  relevant  evidence  should  inform  our  clinical  care.3-5  With  this  premise,  clinicians  should  have  some  understanding  of  what  constitutes  more  vs  less  trustworthy  evidence.  The  widespread  acceptance  of  the  principle,  and  the  corollary  regarding  physician  familiarity  with  evidentiary  standards,  has  resulted  in  a  major  change  in  medical  education.  Requirements  exist  throughout  North  America,  and  in  many  other  countries,  that  both  undergraduate  and  postgraduate  medical  training  include  attention  to  skills  of  accurately  interpreting  the  medical  literature.
