The EBM Resource Pyramid

Identifying the best resource for information on evidence-based medicine (EBM) can be a daunting task, given the wide array of choices such as ACP PIER, ACP Journal Club, Clinical Evidence, DARE, and the Cochrane Library. 

The new EBM Resource Pyramid on the HSLS Web site is a graphical tool to help with this dilemma. When you click on a specific level of evidence, HSLS Web-based resources that satisfy the selected level are displayed.  The display includes a brief description of the resource and a link for access, assisting users in finding the most appropriate EBM information.

HSLS’ EBM Resource Pyramid was produced using the EBM Generator, which allows libraries to customize the EBM pyramid to reflect locally available resources. The EBM Pyramid and Generator were created by health sciences librarians at Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries, Dartmouth College and the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, Yale University School of Medicine.


The HSLS EBM Resource Pyramid can be located under More Resources on the HSLS home page or directly at <www.hsls.pitt.edu/services/guides/ebm/>.  For questions regarding the EBM Resource Pyramid contact Charlie Wessel at cbw@pitt.edu or 412-648-2040
