EBM is used so that respiratory care practitioners can make "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence" in their everyday practice. The student will use the process of evidence synthesis which is using systematic reviews of the medical literature to evaluate the best evidence on specific respiratory care issues. Then, using the concept of knowledge translation, develop clinical practice procedures from the selected treatment options for specific respiratory care cases based on the best research, patient preferences and individual patient characteristics.
