Hey there MSMers! This is the first episode of the medschoolmedic podcast!

Today’s episode discusses evidence-based medicine, what it is and why we need it.

Since it’s beginning, medicine has worked under the guise of “eminence-based medicine”. This consisted of following established protocols because “it’s what we’ve always done.” Evidence-based medicine turns this though process on it’s head. Its the change we need, and it’s the future of emergency medicine.
