Medical stuff...

• Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)
  • Canadian Centres for Health Evidence. The Centres for Health Evidence (CHE) supports advanced training in evidence-based practice. The CHE also welcomes medical students and residents through its EBM electives and co-op and practicum students from both medical and library science schools.
  • Bandolier Evidence-based health care. Established Oxford 1994. Best NHS web site 1999 (NHS Magazine / Microsoft).
  • NHS Research and Development Centre for EBM. Includes a glossary, a toolkit, and free downloads.
  • University of Alberta EBM Tool Kit. Includes an introduction to EBM and a glossary.
  • John M. Gay's Clinical Epidemiology & EBM page. Includes links to other similar sites.
  • Medical University of South Carolina's Evidence Based Medicine Glossary

• Medline searches
  • Grateful Med and PubMed: Search Medline for free on the internet
  • Research & Publication Manager. This appears to be a pretty good engine for searching Medline. After you've constructed your search, you can have RP Manager e-mail whenever new articles appear that fit your search criteria.
• CIHR: Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
• ICES: Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences
• Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals.
• Canadian Medical Association Journal.

• International Classification of Diseases. Some of the links I used to list here are now dead. To find active links for ICD9 (and now ICD10) sites, I suggest doing a search for "ICDx" (substituting the version number you want for the "x") at www.google.com. A couple good sites that were active last time I checked are listed below.
  • National Center for Health Statistics Classifications of Diseases and Functioning & Disability. Includes information on ICD9-CM and ICD10-CM.
  • ICD9 sites that allow search by diagnosis code and diagnosis description
