Miriam Solomon (Professor, Department of Philosophy, Temple University) will speak on
"The Historical Epistemology of Evidence-Based Medicine"
Thursday, January 28th, 4:00-5:30pm in Buchanan Tower 1197.
Since the early 1990s, evidence-based medicine has come to be a model of objectivity in medical research and
practice. This paper explores how evidence-based medicine superseded other accounts of objectivity, and how
the recent developments of translational medicine and precision medicine are responses to the shortfalls of
evidence-based medicine.
PLEASE CIRCULATE.
