In 1992 during a period of innovative restructuring of the medical school curriculum at AlbanyMedical College, Dr. Henry Pohl, then Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, asked me to develop a course to teach students how to become lifelong learners and how the health-care system works. This charge became the focus of a new longitudinal required 4-year course initially called CCCS, or Comprehensive Care Case Study. In 2000, the name was changed to Evidence-Based Medicine.
