The American College of Physicians is now the first organization to be named a GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations). GRADE centers look for a transparent framework for developing and presenting summaries of evidence and provide a systematic approach to making clinical practice recommendations.
The Cochrane US network and collaboration want to congratulate the ACP and Amir Qaseem, MD, PhD, MHA, FACP who was there.
