There are lots of useful EBM-related resources out there. We’ve reviewed and mentioned a lot of them in the blog already, so here they are all together. There are other resources that haven’t been blogged about, and these are highlighted in green. S4BE relies on blog posts submitted by students, so if you would like to write a review of these as yet unblogged about resources, then let us know here.
