Further medical experience will be required to validate these results: How Experience Based Medicine Shapes the Validity of Medical Evidence

In 1992 there appeared in the Journal of The American Medical Association a landmark article entitled Evidence-Based Medicine (EvBM): A New Approach To Teaching The Practice Of Medicine [1]. This marked the soft launch of an EvBM movement. In the ensuing years, every corner of medicine has been charged by payers, administrators, quality leaders, department heads, and academia with justifying medical practice and its value to patients through the use of evidence. However, the well-known limitations of EvBM and the very literature on which it is ‘based’ eventually spawned a backlash from practitioners defending the importance of individual and collective experience in patient care.
