Clinical Epidemiology is the application of principles of epidemiology to clinical medicine. While classical epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations, clinical epidemiology is the application of the same sorts of principles and methods to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Clinical Epidemiology is a major part of the new trend towards Evidence-based Medicine.
The Division was founded in 2001 succeeding a successful program in clinical epidemiology that began in 1984.
