John R. Paul, Professor of Preventive Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine, wrote numerous monographs and papers defining and delimiting the field of preventive medicine and its fundamental science, clinical epidemiology. For Dr. Paul, preventive medicine was part of the continuum of clinical medicine; others believed that it was a separate entity deserving of departmental status. This paper discusses Dr. Paul's definition and philosophy of preventive medicine in contrast to other disciplines, such as social medicine and public health.
约翰·R·保罗是耶鲁大学医学院预防医学教授,他撰写了大量专题著作和论文,对预防医学领域及其基础科学——临床流行病学进行了定义和界定。对保罗博士而言,预防医学是临床医学连续统一体的一部分;其他人则认为它是一个独立的实体,理应拥有部门地位。本文将保罗博士对预防医学的定义和理念与其他学科,如社会医学和公共卫生进行对比探讨。
