This volume covers a wide range of conceptual, epistemological and methodological issues in the philosophy of science raised by reflection upon medical science and practice. Several chapters examine such general meta-scientific concepts as discovery, reduction, theories and models, causal inference and scientific realism as they apply to medicine or medical science in particular. Some discuss important concepts specific to medicine (diagnosis, health, disease, brain death). A topic such as evidence, for instance, is examined at a variety of levels, from social mechanisms for guiding evidence-b

Il est bien des façons d'exercer le métier de cadre de santé et, dès lors, d'orienter la pratique que recouvre une telle appellation. Si la nécessité d'une performance gestionnaire et managériale est souvent mise en avant et ne fait, d'ailleurs, pas de doute, celle de la pertinence humaine des actions et de leur organisation ne peut être laissée dans l'ombre. C'est au nom de cette pertinence de la pratique quotidienne des soins et de la nécessité de bien traiter l'humain - tant celui à qui se destinent les soins que celui qui a pour métier d'en donner - que l'auteur a choisi de réfléchir dans ce livre à toute l'importance de la fonction de cadre de santé de proximité. En effet, bien traiter l'humain malade ou dépendant ne saurait se limiter à bien faire tout ce qu'il y a à faire : l'humain n'est pas réductible aux soins qu'il requiert et ne se confond pas avec l'excellence des pratiques qui lui sont destinées. C'est d'une complexité singulière dont il est question et de la capacité que l'on a individuellement et collectivement d'accueillir cette singularité, capacité qui témoigne de la considération que l'on a pour cet autre malade ou dépendant et qui vit, d'une manière qui lui est particulière, ce qu'il a à vivre lorsque la maladie surgit ou lorsque la dépendance modifie le cours de son existence. Prendre en compte cette complexité singulière requiert de fonder la pratique des soins sur une intelligence du singulier qui, seule, permet aux professionnels de se révéler compétents en une situation donnée et d'exprimer leur préoccupation d'une éthique du quotidien des soins. Déployer une telle intelligence du singulier ne va pas de soi, y compris pour les plus qualifiés et expérimentés des professionnels. C'est parce que cela ne va pas de soi que les équipes ont besoin d'être soutenues, encadrées et accompagnées grâce à la présence, au coeur du soin, d'un cadre de santé de proximité et grâce à l'autorité aidante et bienfaisante qu'il peut ainsi exprimer.

‘Clinical epidemiology’ is now widely promoted and taught as a ‘basic science’ of Evidence-Based Medicine, of clinical EBM to be specific. This book, however, is mostly about that which Miettinen takes to be the necessary substitute for this now-so-fashionable subject – namely, Theory of Clinical Medicine together with its subordinate Theory of Clinical Research.The leit motif in all of this is Miettinen’s perception of the need and opportunity to bring major improvements into clinical medicine in this Information Age, now that theoretical progress has made feasible the development of practice-guiding Expert Systems for it. Parts of this text constitute essential reading for whoever is expected, or otherwise inclined, to study – or teach – ‘clinical epidemiology,’ and the same is true of those who set policy for the education of future clinicians; but practically all of it is essential reading for future – and current – academics in the various disciplines of clinical medicine. After all, the text is the result of a concentrated effort, over a half-century no less, to really understand both clinical and community medicine and the research to advance the knowledge-base of these. Research epidemiologists, too, will find this text interesting and instructive.

The central question of this book is whether or not particular cell entities of human origin ought to be considered human beings. The answer is crucial for making moral decisions for or against research and experimentation. Experts in the field discuss the production of embryonic-like pluripotent stem cells by altered nuclear transfer, parthenogenesis and reprogramming of adult somatic cells. They thoroughly analyse the biological and moral status of different cell entities, such as human stem cells, embryos and human-animal hybrid embryos, and make a decisive step towards establishing final criteria for what constitutes a human being. The topic is challenging in nature and of broad interest to all those concerned with current bioethical thought on embryonic human life and its implications for society.

Since 2005 a dozen states and more than 15 specialties have reported a physician shortage or anticipate one in the next few years. This anticipated shortage and a worsening of physician distribution are compounded by a projected increased demand for women’s healthcare services. Women’s healthcare is particularly vulnerable, because the obstetrician-gynecologist workforce is aging and is among the least satisfied medical specialists. Furthermore, fellowship training in women’s healthcare in internal medicine and in maternal child health in family and community medicine involves only a small portion of general internists and family physicians. In response to this challenge, the Association of American Medical Colleges called for an expansion of medical schools and graduate medical education enrollments. As we cope with significant and rapid changes in organizations and reimbursement, academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology, family and community medicine, and internal medicine have opportunities to create a unified women’s health curriculum for undergraduate students, share preventive health and well-woman expertise in training programs, provide improved continuity of care, instill concepts of lifelong learning to our graduates, and better develop our research programs. This volume’s chapters focus on strategic planning on behalf of academic faculty who will train the anticipated additional load of students, residents, and fellows in women’s healthcare. -changing demographics of faculty -expanding roles of clinician educators -physician investigators and their future -the hidden value of part-time faculty -faculty salaries -required skillsets of academic leaders -the meaning of tenure and faculty satisfaction and retention. Recommendations presented here from authors with distinguished leadership skills indicate a consensus, but not unanimity. In furthering these goals, we summarize in the final chapter our collective expertise and offer ways to implement recommendations to better prepare for tomorrow’s needs in academic women’s healthcare.
