Abstract

[Extract] The practice of medicine sits at the overlap of two quite different ways of thinking. The modern era is dominated by the need for scientific evidence and the best ways to apply that evidence to achieve improving quality and quantity of life. Features include objectivity, rationality, reproducibility, safety, technological advances and the rapidly expanding understanding of the molecular basis of health. The science of practice is fascinating and health professions are truly privileged to work at the leading edge of something that affects all humans.
