Updated 07/02/08
The purpose of this web page is to provide links to on-line resources for
clinical research and EBVM. I update this list irregularly as
I happen onto good on-line resources and when I need to use it for teaching. Please let me know if you find mistakes or resources
that I've overlooked.
