The original EBM site on the Lamar Soutter Library webpage site was a collaborative effort between the Lamar Soutter Library and the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, originally funded through the Medical School's Innovations in Medical Education Grants program. The Lamar Soutter Library retains a strong relationship with the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and curriculum leaders in the T.H. Chan School of Medicine and Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing in the instruction of applying Evidence-Based Practice to patient care.
