Evidence-Based Medicine - A Paradigm Ready To Be Challenged?

Marie-Caroline Schulte, "Evidence-Based Medicine - A Paradigm Ready To Be Challenged?: How Scientific Evidence Shapes Our Understanding And Use Our Understanding And Use Of Medicine"
English | ISBN: 347605702X | 2020 | 157 pages | PDF | 2 MB

This open access book aims to clarify the term „evidence-based medicine“ (EBM) from a philosophy of science perspective. The author, Marie-Caroline Schulte discusses the importance of evi-dence in medical research and practice with a focus on the ethical and methodological prob-lems of EBM. The claims that EBM can herald a new theory of epistemology and a Kuhnian paradigm will be refuted. The solution is to describe EBM as a necessary development in medicine to deal with the increasing amount of evidence and medical data without loosing the single patient out of sight.
