Evidence-Based Medicine Manual 2011-2012 

We are pleased to present the 2011-2012 Internal Medicine Evidence-Based Manual, a collection of seminal articles in internal medicine organized by housestaff rotation.

We would like to thank Dr Mark Snyder for leading the effort to re-envision the manual this year to the form seen here. We would also like to thank all of those residents who contributed to organizing this year's version of the EBM Manual.

Best, 
Chief Residents, Department of Internal Medicine

Installation Guide

The manual is designed to run in a program called Evernote. This is a free note-taking program that will allow you to browse the manual, to view the original PDFs of articles cited in the manual, and to search the entire manual at once (including searching for words within the articles themselves).

To install the EBM Manual, you will need to install Evernote 1) on your iPad and 2) on your personal computer.
