Evidence-Based Diagnosis Textbook
Welcome to the EBD Website! This is where we will post new problems as we write (or collect) them, as well as a few useful links. To see all materials for a one-quarter UCSF course based on this book, including page proofs of all of the chapters, click here. We also give a two-day workshop in June. 
Order the book with a 20% discount direct from Cambridge University Press. After you click ADD TO BASKET in the upper right part of the page, enter promotional code PAS10A. Instructors can request a free inspection copy by clicking here. You can feel good about buying the book; a portion of the purchase price (TN's share of royalties) goes to Physicians for Social Responsibility. Here's a handy Posterior Probability of Disease Online Calculator And here’s a handy Excel file for creating "X-graphs" and calculating no treat-test and test-treat thresholds Posterior Probability of Disease Slide Rule: We find this slide rule useful for illustrating probability updating using likelihood ratios, as well as for understanding the No Treat-Test and Test-Treat thresholds. The last page in the book is a slide rule printed on card stock and requiring assembly using scissors and tape. If you would like a sturdier, pre-assembled version, go to http://www.quesgen.com/Contact.php and request a “Posterior Probability of Disease Calculator”. Additional problems –we are just starting to set
this up, so this part is still under construction. But it is not too soon
to send us problems you create! Tom Newman's Document Repository: This is TN's website. It has some useful teaching materials, links, and even a few sermons!
