+====== EBM Notes ======
+===== Session #1 Goals/Finding the literature =====
+Goals of course: Better understanding on children's upbringings and how that effects adulthood. As well as pharmacology. \\
+  * went through how to find pubmed through library.uthscsa.edu website
+  * How to do a evidence based research using the PICO methodology
+P - population I - intervention C - control group/comparator O - outcome
+("child abuse" OR "child neglect" OR "adolescent violence") AND (CPS OR adoption) AND (substance use OR alcohol OR methamphetamines OR "externalizing disorder")\\
+in the above example we used PICO methodology\\
+P = "child abuse" OR "child neglect" OR "adolescent violence"
+I = (CPS OR adoption)
+C = no comparator given as there didn't seem to be a clear comparator we could use
+O = (substance use OR alcohol OR methamphetamines OR ...)\\
+  * how the PICO methodology will fall short if you don't know the right search terms.
+  * we discussed my methodology of finding a review to find the right search terms.
+  * Google scholar can be used for finding a review quite effectively.
+===== Session #2 Student to find an RCT and we discuss =====
+===== Session #3 Lit search review and empircism vs theory vs experts =====
+Two explanatory models for pharmacology:\\
+- Theory
+  - Stahl says
+     - This receptor affects anxiety and this other drug also affects that receptor therefore patients with OCD symptoms or intrusive thoughts in MDD should take this drug.
+  - Freud and his id/ego/superego and ideas like the schizophrenigenic mother.
+  - Galen with his humors.
+- Empirical
+  - We gave this intervention to a population and they responded like this.
