This article presents a proposed model, the Research Pyramid, that aligns itself with the revised model of evidence-based medicine and, more important, with the basic modes of clinical reasoning in occupational therapy. It constitutes a beginning attempt to order evidence-based practice in accordance with the epistemology of the profession. It may better guide occupational therapy research and meta-synthesis and their incorporation into practice decisions.

In addition, by surveying graduates who have not experienced any of the current librarian-led EBP instruction, the results of the study can be used as a baseline for a later assessment of MOT graduates who have experienced the full librarian-led EBP progression.

This study was designed to determine that if such differences exist, could they be one of the factors contributing to the disenchantment that recent graduates are demonstrating with traditional institutional settings? Is work experience necessary to confirm career choice, or is that career commitment made during fieldwork?
