A review in SciTech Book News (March 2006) says:

"This resource for residents and practitioners of family medicine describes a practical approach to obtaining the high-quality information needed in order to provide the best care to patients. The focus is on improving information's relevance and validity while minimizing the effort expended in finding it. Sample topics include evaluating qualitative research, using handheld computers, and dealing with pharmaceutical company representatives. The CD-ROM contains the complete text and illustrations, along with 11 bonus chapters describing some methods for teaching the approach to learners of all levels."
