The History and Philosophy of Evidence-Based Health Care (HPEBHC)
15 – 19 June 2015
(Deadline for application 29th May
2015)
This unique course will trace the historical development of
evidence-based health care. Students will engage with researchers who have
played key roles in defining the History, Philosophy and actual practice of
Evidence-Based Healthcare. Many famous medical doctors, including Galen,
Descartes and Locke, were also philosophers, and recent evidence suggests that
studying humanities improves clinical skills. Medical professionals will learn
to think critically about the assumptions of their profession while
philosophers and historians will learn about the empirical foundations of the
science they contemplate.
Many past students have published their assignments for the
course in peer-reviewed journals.
