Dear colleagues,
The Cambridge Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and
Humanities will host a workshop next March,
Making Medicine Count? Evidence-based medicine in practice.
Date: March 27th 2007
Confirmed speakers: Stefan Timmermans (UCLA), Carl May (Newcastle)
and Rob Flynn (Salford).
We would like to hear from other people working in this field from
STS, sociology, anthropology etc. who are interested in contributing
in the following areas:
Ways of asking and answering questions in the clinic:
Empirical studies of efforts to relate EBM or other statistical
styles of reasoning to clinical judgement or tacit/experiential
knowledge
Connections between EBM and other examples of 'science' in the clinic
(genetics, pathophysiology, laboratory medicine), or the logics of
standardisation/guidelines
Varying interpretations and influence of EBM/clinical trial
methodology in different locations and disciplines (2o as well as 1o
care, oncology, surgery etc).
Knowledge production in the era of the 'implementation gap':
Cases where clinical trial methodology is being modified or
reinvented to manage new demands on it or respond to critiques
Debates on the meaning of objectivity, reliability and robustness in
relation to healthcare
Choosing, defending and defining outcomes; intersections between
social as well as individual goods invoked in trial design.
Registration to participate in the conference will open in the new
year (http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/) but we still have a limited
number of slots for speakers. If you're interested please contact
Catherine Will, Department of Social Anthropology, Cambridge,
[log in to unmask] by December 31st.
We are grateful for financial support from the Centre for Research in
the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and the Foundation
for the Sociology of Health and Illness.
