The awareness of the international veterinary profession of evidence-based veterinary medicine and preferred methods of training (2017)
Journal Article
Huntley, S. J., Dean, R. S., & Brennan, M. L. (2017). The awareness of the international veterinary profession of evidence-based veterinary medicine and preferred methods of training. Veterinary Sciences, 4(1), Article 15. https://doi.org/10.3390/vetsci4010015

Evidence-based veterinary medicine (EVM) is an evolving discipline in veterinary medicine so it is important to periodically “benchmark” opinion about EVM across the profession. An international survey to assess veterinarians’ awareness of EVM was co...
