ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to review in a critical way the relationship between the clinical and the epidemiological methods, their conjugation in the so called clinical epidemiology and the possibilities they provide for the health problems resolution. A documentary review on this topic was made, and some of the significant results were the validity of both methods for health research and the implementation of the clinical epidemiology procedures, as a less developed discipline, particularly at domestic level. It was concluded that both methods, rather than divergent, are supplementary to develop an indispensable transdisciplinary approach for the research and the resolution of health problems.
