New Textbook out from the CAHE

The University of South Australia and the Centre for Allied Health Evidence are at the forefront of research into the evidence supporting the effectiveness of allied health treatment and therapeutics. The authors have compiled what I believe to be a global interdisciplinary teaching tool that will be used in many universities and medical venues. This text brings evidence to the front lines of practice and describes the methods in a way that clinicians will find invaluable.

For more information, see http://www.unisa.edu.au/cahe/Textbook/Default.asp
