The book Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines teaches teachers how to apply research to improve student results in clinically based fields of study by informing instructional strategies.

Speech-language pathologists and editors Together with a group of over 65 knowledgeable contributors, Drs. Jennifer C. Friberg, Colleen F. Visconti, and Sarah M. Ginsberg presented instances of how they have incorporated evidence into the planning and execution of their courses. As a case study, each chapter is organized to include:
An explanation of the context for teaching and learning that the chapter focuses on
A synopsis of newly collected data or previously published literature that is being used An explanation of how the evidence was used in the context of teaching and learning
More suggestions on how evidence may be used in various clinical disciplines’ teaching and learning environments
Additional materials (e.g., journal papers, books, blogs, websites) pertaining to the pedagogy outlined in the case study
This resource will be useful to educators who are already familiar with evidence-based practice and teach in the fields of speech-language pathology, audiology, nursing, social work, sports medicine, medicine, dietetics, dental assisting, physician assisting, radiology technology, psychology, and kinesiology.

Although the substance of clinical programs varies greatly, there are many commonalities in the ways that students are taught in these programs. These parallels are emphasized in Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines, which also serves as a master class in the application of evidence-based education.
