Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality site includes links to the National Guideline Clearinghouse,
AHRQ's own Clinical Practice Guidelines Online, and other guideline-related

- Best Evidence (access via Ovid)
The Best Evidence database consists of two journals ACP Journal Club, a publication of the American College of Physicians, and Evidence-Based
Medicine, a joint publication with the British Medical Journal Group. The editors of Best Evidence screen the top clinical journals on a regular basis
and identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. They write an enhanced abstract of the chosen articles and provide a

changes in medical knowledge, without having to read and synthesize for themselves thousands of journal articles.
