Abstract
In this course on ‘clinical epidemiology,’ the students – residents and fellows in various clinical disciplines – should already have gained secure command of general concepts of medicine, most elementary concepts in particular (cf. Sect. II – 1). To give them a sense of the extent to which they actually did have this background, they were given the assignment to define a particular set of elementary concepts of medicine. Their definitions were, generally, quite inconsistent (App. 1) and, thus, substantially at variance with what they should have been (App. 2).
