Abstract

There is a growing interest about the necessary skills to critical reading and evaluation of medical information from the pharmaceutical representatives. The utility of information depends on its relevance and validity. Clinical decisions should be based on good information. In this paper we describe strategies to select efficiently the most useful information. Armed with these strategies, clinicians can find the most appropriate information, evaluate it quickly, and apply it confidently to provide the best care for the patients
