Teaching Residents to Follow the Evidence
December 14, 2020, 2:41 pm David Mitchell Corey Lyon, D.O., didn’t set out to be a writer or an editor, but his passion for teaching and evidence-based medicine put him on a career path to be both. It’s a path he hopes other family physicians will follow.
“There’s a lot of information out there, and with access the internet provides, it’s easy to get confused on what information to use,” said Lyon, who serves as board chair of the
Family Physicians Inquiries Network. “Physicians have to know what to believe and what to trust. It is important to understand how to critically appraise the literature by understanding levels of evidence and validity of what you’re reading, which will assist you in determining how to use this new knowledge in medical decision-making.”
