Abstract

Evidence-based medicine represents a new approach to medical practice, which has evolved over the centuries. Different definitions of evidence-based medicine are presented in historical perspective. The periodization of development of this approach involves an empirical period, the period of the Enlightenment, a transitional period, and a modern period. The key events of each period and the role of well-known physicians in these are described.
