The Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto is a place where this type of work goes on in earnest, and in doing so, brings together diverse individuals from these various fields to provide earnest commentary and informed scholarship to the general public and fellow academics. Most persons visiting the site will want to look at the helpful "News Flash" features, which include working papers on such topics as "Nanotechnology and the Developing World" and "Learning from Terri Schiavo".

A new paradigm for medical and dental practice is emerging.
Evidence-based health care de-emphasizes intuition, unsystematic clinical
experience, and pathophysiologic rationale as sufficient grounds for clinical
decision-making, and stresses the examination of evidence from clinical
research. Evidence-based health care requires new skills of the health
care practitioner, including efficient literature-searching, and the application
of formal rules of evidence in evaluating the clinical literature.
The Library urges you to peruse the site of the Center for Evidence-Based
Dentistry, based at the Institute of Health Sciences in Oxford. The
main objective of the Center is to promote the teaching, learning, practice,
and evaluation of Evidence-Based Dentistry. Aims of the Center include
fostering a spirit of inquiry within the dental team, encouraging and
enabling the dental profession to make clinical decisions based on the
best available evidence, and enabling the dental team to find valid and
up-to-date evidence on which to base treatment decisions.
Other Evidence-Based Medicine sites include

by browsing through a list of grant topics, which range from housing to
the humanities. Clicking on each topic will lead to another list detailing
which federal agencies provide (or may provide) grant monies within each
area.
Visitors looking for greater search capabilities will want to move to
the grants synopsis search area, which allows for customizable searches
for quick access to the relevant grants and application documents. Equally
helpful is the federal grant notification service that allows individuals
to
be notified when new grant announcements are released by various agencies.

Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center
The purpose of the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource
Center (OHRC) is to respond to the needs of states and communities in addressing
current and emerging public oral health issues. OHRC supports health professionals,
program administrators, educators, policymakers, and others with the goal
of improving oral health services for infants, children, adolescents, and
their families. The resource center collaborates with federal, state, and
local agencies; national and state organizations and associations; and
foundations to gather, develop, and share quality and valued information
and materials.

AltaVista
For exhaustive and precise searches. Once you've mastered its search syntax,
it's quick and easy to use. Results, however, can include many duplicates.
Ask
Jeeves!
An excellent beginner's site that's also good for anyone's general queries.
Ask Jeeves leads you through questions to help narrow your search, and
also simultaneously searches six other search sites for relevant Web pages.
Its ability to interpret natural language queries makes it easy to learn,
but also makes constructing precise queries difficult.
Dogpile
This metasearch site can go through 13 Web search engines, more than two
dozen on-line news services or other types of sources, and sorts the results
by the search engine that found them. While this is not the most useful
presentation if you want just the facts, it's a good way to check which
search engine works best for you.
Excite
Good for searches on broad general topics. Excite adds interesting extras
like a simultaneous search of the Web, news headlines, sports scores and
company information--and groups the relevant results on a single page.
Some reviewers have complained that the search results aren't always relevant.
Google
HotBot
This is the search site of Wired magazine, whose search engine Inktomi
also powers Snap.com's and Yahoo's Web searches. It is an excellent tool
for finding specific information. In addition to a thorough and up-to-date
index, it provides an easy interface for constructing precise search queries--but
this requires extra effort up front.
Infoseek
When searching for Web pages, news stories and Usenet postings, Infoseek
produces very accurate and relevant results. But according to Search Engine Watch it has a much smaller index of Web pages
than many others.
Lycos
Provides a good selection of advanced search capabilities, like the ability
to search for specific media types (JPEG files, Java scripts and so on).
Its advanced search, Lycos Pro, provides even more options. But general
Web searches can produce checkered results. Also, Lycos's index of Web pages
is small.
Medical
Matrix
Medical Matrix is a free directory of selected medical sites on the Internet.
Each site listing has been carefully evaluated by reviewers from our panel
of physicians and medical librarians. Medical Matrix lists only those
sites that meet our criteria for information quality and site usability,
with an emphasis on usefulness to healthcare practitioners.
MetaCrawler
This is a metasearch site, simultaneously searching Yahoo, Excite, and
five other search engines, then aggregating the results. It's excellent
for getting a quick hit of what's out there. But if you don't see what
you want in the results, its limited search options make it tough to issue
precise queries.
Northern
Light
In addition to its index of Web pages, Northern Light also searches through
pay-per-view articles from periodicals and books not generally available
on the Web. It sorts its results into topic headings, which can prove
very useful.
SearchEdu.com
This is a powerful search engine that is "devoted to university and
education related sites."
Search
Turtle
This is a meta-search engine that helps user browse through search results
more quickly by placing a navigation toolbar at the top of their browser.
xrefer
A large collection of reference works including encyclopedias, dictionaries,
and thesauri. Every source is cross referenced.
Yahoo!
A human compiled directory of Web sites, Yahoo doesn't help you search
for the contents of individual Web pages. It's excellent for researching
broad general topics, but tends to return too many results, many of them
irrelevant.
