Highlights
Abdul Moiz Khan The problems of the overwhelming amount of medical literature have been thoughtfully highlighted in the PLoS Medicine editorial “Drowning or Thirsting: The Extremes of Availability of Medical Information” [1]
There are no alternatives to the good analytical skills that come through continued exposure to medical literature
Exercises such as those requiring medical students to analytically criticize medical literature can go a long way in developing reading skills
Summary
Abdul Moiz Khan The problems of the overwhelming amount of medical literature have been thoughtfully highlighted in the PLoS Medicine editorial “Drowning or Thirsting: The Extremes of Availability of Medical Information” [1]. We hope all governments will sustain this momentum in May 2006 at the World Health Assembly, which will consider an essential health R & D resolution calling for a global framework to support needs-driven research and to set R & D priorities in the interest of public health, especially for the most neglected diseases [4].
