As an associate professor of medicine at Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Daniella Zipkin teaches a course in evidence-based medicine. In addition, Dr. Daniella Zipkin was a member of the Evidence-Based Medicine Task Force of the Society of General Internal Medicine from 2010 through 2015, and served as Chair of the Task Force from 2013-2014.
The Evidence-Based Medicine Task Force is dedicated to promoting the use of evidence-based medicine in both academic and clinical settings. Evidence-based medicine combines the results of clinical research with the expertise of clinicians and the values of the patients they treat, in order to improve health care.
The Evidence-Based Medicine Task Force’s “Bottom Line” Project encourages physicians to use evidence summaries when communicating with their patients. These “Bottom Line” summaries are intended to provide clear, clinically accurate information in a format that patients can easily understand. These summaries can increase patients' satisfaction with their care and empower them to collaborate with their doctors in making complex medical decisions for themselves and their families.
