An important new model for the dissemination of medical knowledge is beginning to emerge from the convergence of the evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement with the research compilation movement. The applications of this model for psychiatric disorders will explored at Neurotransmitter.net, but other websites will need to apply the model to other health conditions for it to reach its full potential.

A research compilation of articles about the intersection between EBM and psychiatry is now available.

For links to information about evidence-based medicine/practice, try Netting the Evidence: A ScHARR Introduction to Evidence Based Practice on the Internet.
