Abstract

it is proposed that a series of articles dealing with medical education should be published in the present issue of the Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología, and those that follow, with the aim of preparing our readers in understanding basic concepts, interpreting and applying the most used epidemiological estimators in evidence-based medicine (MBE).

Some colleagues consider that using MBE is inconvenient, since it does not recognise experience as a source of knowledge, that its complexity requires a solid knowledge of clinical epidemiology for correctly interpreting and applying it, that it has complicated current medicinal practice and that it has increased costs.1
