Watch It Wednesday: Viva La Evidence
“A 21st century clinician who cannot critically read a study is as unprepared as one who cannot take blood pressure or examine the cardiovascular system.” What better way to end one year and usher in the new, than a reminder of the role of scientific study in our profession? In AAC, there isn’t as much research as we would like, but we sure do need to make it our business to evaluate and use the empirical evidence that we do have. P.S. We like Coldplay a little more now. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Glasziou, P., Burls, A.,& Gilbert, R. (2008).
