✦ Synopsis

As we move into the 21st century, there are increasing demands placed on occupational therapists to ensure their practice is based on sound evidence. Evidence‐based practice is an approach to clinical decision making that has gained considerable interest and influence during the last decade. This article describes and explains the process of evidence‐based practice and its application to clinical occupational therapy practice. Directions for resources that may assist therapists’ self‐directed learning are also provided. As health care becomes more evidence‐based, awareness of the principles, skills, and resources for evidence‐based practice is of relevance to all occupational therapists.
