PubMed Clinical Q&A is a collection of summaries of health information, systemic reviews and answers to clinical questions. A great searchable resource for those
PBL sessions!"Each summary contains several questions that compare treatments, for example:
"How do statins compare in reducing 'bad cholesterol' (LDL-c)?"A brief answer which highlights recent findings is available, along with a link back to the source of the evidence where more details can be found."
