Meaning of clinical medicine | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

The principal subset of medical practice, comprising all aspects of medicine that happen at the point of care, as opposed to the aspects that happen in the clinical laboratory, imaging center, medical school classroom, data center, or other nonclinical settings; thus, for example, the radiology service and the pathology service are conceptually differentiable, such that the clinical components of the diagnostic process (e.g., history, physical examination, point of care testing) are categorizable as distinct from the nonclinical ones that interface with the clinical activity (e.g., radiologic interpretation, histopathologic analysis, data analysis).
