Evidence-based medicine is the "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients." EBM has a hierarchy of study designs to grade evidence and encourages the use of standardized checklists to assess studies. To use EBM in your clinical practice, you can use tools that aggregate the best available evidence on a topic or search for RCTs, guidelines and/or systematic reviews on your topic and critically appraise them for quality.
