Introduction
This collection of evidence-based medicine (EBM) resources is intended for faculty, librarians, students and health care professionals interested in learning about EBM. Our goal is to make this site your preferred entry point when you wish to learn EBM, teach EBM, find current EBM research, or find key EBM resources.
North Carolina Area Health Education Center (AHEC) librarians and academic librarians who teach formal EBM programs formed a team to create this virtual EBM Center of Excellence in 2000. The Center was based on the concept of "Centers of Excellence" outlined in the NC AHEC Library & Information Services Network 2001-2005 work plan.
This EBM Center of Excellence is one of many other information resources that can be linked to from NC AHEC's recently developed Digital Library (http://library.ncahec.net/).
The email addresses for librarians responsible for content are provided at the end of each section of this web site. Please feel free to contact the author(s) if you have questions or suggestions for content.
