Clinical epidemiology

For the peer-reviewed journal, see Clinical Epidemiology (journal).

Clinical epidemiology is a subfield of epidemiology specifically focused on issues relevant to clinical medicine. The term was first introduced by virologist John R. Paul in his presidential address to the American Society for Clinical Investigation in 1938.[1][2] It is sometimes referred to as "the basic science of clinical medicine".[3]
