[1][2] The association provides benefits for members including a listserv for discussion of relevant topics, and free access to the most comprehensive veterinary literature database, CABI's VetMed Resource,[3] and to point-of-care information tool, Vetlexicon.
In addition to the core EBVM topics of clinical-research design, how to search the literature for published research, and how veterinarians can evaluate published research studies or review articles in order to assess the quality of their findings and conclusions, the EBVMA is interested in all areas of the 'information milieu' within which veterinary medicine, and EBVM, are practiced.
The first president was veterinarian Bob Larson of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University.
The current president is internist Gary Block, of Ocean State Veterinary Specialists, Rhode Island.
Members of the Association carry out research and writing in areas related to EBVM,[5] and publish occasional comment on matters that arise within the field of veterinary medicine.
