Abstract
Clinical epidemiology is a newly developed basic science that integrates clinical medicine with epidemiology by concentrating on the scientific research of clinical medicine. The development of clinical epidemiology occurred over a long period of time, with numerous doctors and persons contributing to its progress. When disease occurred in the population, the people always attempted to identify the cause of the disease and tried to control the spread of the disease. These efforts contributed to the development of clinical epidemiology.
