Abstract

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is different from traditional medicine in that the practice of EBM comes from evidence and experience of the doctors. The objective evidence plays a key role in clinical practice. During the clinical teaching process, the following steps should be taken: firstly, the students should find a problem in their clinical practice; then, they should search for the evidence with the help of their teachers, evaluate the evidence, apply the evidence to the clinical practice, and solve the problem; finally, they should evaluate the effectiveness. An introduction of the principles and methods of EBM to the clinical practice can greatly improve the students' ability to analyze and solve a clinical problem.
