Abstract
The Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) movement, undoubtably one of the most successful movements in medicine, questions dogma and "clinical authority" and combines the "best available evidence" with clinical expertise and patient values in order to provide the best care for the individual patient. Although since its inception in the 1990s its strong theoretical foundations remain unaltered, a lot has changed in its practical implementation due to the electronic explosion of information and the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. The purpose of this article is to succinctly provide the reader with an update on the major changes in EBM, including the important most recent ones that were "fast-tracked" due to the COVID-19 challenge.
