It is becoming increasingly important that practitioners implement evidence-based practice. In this episode of the New PossibilOTs, Mahek Bansal and Larissa Ferrari dive into the world of evidence-based practice. They define evidence-based practice as having three key dimensions: external scientific evidence, the practitioner's experience and training, and the client or family's situation and values. They stress the importance of aligning these components to provide the best service to clients. They discuss the challenges and barriers to implementing evidence-based practice and offer practical tips for clinicians, including becoming familiar with research papers, participating in clinical discussions, seeking supervision or study groups, attending conferences, and critically evaluating information sources.

The episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about the importance of evidence-based practice and practical tips of how to implement evidence-based practice.
