Medical practice in the twenty-first century
Challenges and rescue of the clinical method
Abstract
Since its inception in ancient Greece, the clinical method has experienced no major changes in its components and application. However, for some time now, it has been infringed upon by the high impact of technology on the healthcare sciences, and the new paradigms imposed on clinical practice and medical education.
This article describes the most relevant historical data on the clinical method, its scientific components and its application in medicine, highlighting its importance in all medical aspects; and provides some thoughts on the reasons for this crisis and how it involves general medical practitioners in Colombia.
