AB Approaches  to  scientific  inquiry—including  evidence-based  medicine  (EBM)—depend  on  how  one  views  the  nature  of  knowledge  as  evidence,  how  it  should  be  acquired,  and  how  it  should  be  applied  (epistemology).  The  goal  of  this  chapter  is  to  make  the  EBM  perspective  on  this  issue—seldom  clearly  articulated—clearer.  In  this  discussion,  we  highlight  the  3  key  principles  of  EBM  (see  Chapter  2,  What  Is  Evidence-Based  Medicine?).
