Clinical Epidemiology

Clinical epidemiology has its application within the resolution of treatment and management of diseases, contributing the identification of risk factors to sure sicknesses and being to this point the elemental part of substantial medicine, and for that it becomes important the teaching of clinical epidemiology, for it will aid in the education of professionals with judicious capacity and rational use of the best alternatives in diagnostic and treatment, by means of a critical evaluation of the literature, as well as helping to stimulate the training of researchers, because it’s implied that the execution of the clinical epidemiology will lead to the development of research. Clinical epidemiology has its implementation within the intention of therapy and management of diseases, donating the recognition of risk factors to sure sicknesses and being to this point the basic part of considerable medicine, and for that it becomes crucial the teaching of clinical epidemiology, for it will help in the education of experts with sensible capacity and logical use of the best options in diagnostic and treatment, by means of a critical assessment of the literature, as well as helping to restoring the training of researchers, because it’s suggested that the implementation of the clinical epidemiology will guide to the development of research. Epidemiology began as an outgrowth of medicine. Many of its earliest practitioners were clinicians who recognized that poor health is often closely related to a patient's environment and that observations and interventions in groups are directly relevant to treatment and prevention of disease in individual persons. Popularization of clinical epidemiology formally started in the developing countries with the origin of International Clinical Epidemiology Network in 1980s In the public health context, application of epidemiological principles is more for prevention than for treatment. In India, integrating prevention to routine functioning of health services was mostly through implementation of public health programs undertaken as a Governmental responsibility. Although the organizational structure for support of clinically oriented epidemiology varies from one academic health center to another across the United States, the pattern for an increasing role of epidemiology in clinical research, clinical education, and patient care has been remarkably consistent. This is reflected in enhanced recognition of epidemiology as an area of research focus at scientific meetings sponsored by clinical societies, an expanding emphasis on use of quantitative methods to address clinical research topics, a growing awareness that epidemiology is a basic science for practicing physicians, increasing interest in epidemiologic training among young clinicians, and rapid growth of clinical epidemiology units at many academic health centers.
