As a physician
working in a rural hospital in Ponorogo, I often encounter with
many clinical practices that not based on scientific evidence. With
limited adjunctive examination, I was demanded to make a decision
based on my own medical knowledge and experience. For example:
Without the microbiology test, a patient with suspected infection
will receive empiric antimicrobial therapy and potentially can
cause the resistance due to the overuse of it. In another case,
patients with abdominal pain often receive the treatment without
extensive investigation of the underlying disease. In consequence,
we cant afford an effective
healththerapy
and it leads to a recurrent health problem.
These problems can be minimized with clinical research that
will provide clinicians with the information to make decisions that
are most appropriate for the welfare of the patients. With clinical
epidemiology, a
physiciancan
make decisions more logically. Unfortunately, we rarely find an
Indonesian physician who is proficient at performing either the
clinical research or critical appraisal from available medical
evidence database. Thus, I see this as an opportunity for me to
contribute to solving this problem by pursuing a master degree in
clinical epidemiology.
