Evidence Based Medicine Databases

Synthesized resources are a specialized form of secondary literature and focus on critical appraisal of a number of primary resources. They most commonly address clinical topics and appear as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical practice guidelines, critically appraised topics, or decision analysis.

Dynamed, Clinical Evidence, and UpToDate are synthesized EBM tools and can not be used for this project.
