Qu’est-ce que l’Epidémiologie Clinique?
I define clinical epidemiology as the application, by a physician who
provides direct patient care, of epidemiologic and biometric methods
to the study of diagnostic and therapeutic process in order to effect an
improvement in health.
I do not believe that clinical epidemiology constitutes a distinct or
isolated discipline but, rather, that it reflects an orientation arising
from both clinical medicine and epidemiology.
I hope to convince the readers… that clinical epidemiology is an
appropriate vehicle for relevant teaching and research in medicine.
