| Summary: | In the field of medicine, EBM dominates the sphere of health research. EBM claims that RCT
is the “gold standard” of research. Meta-analysis of RCT and RCT research ranks high on the
evidence hierarchy while qualitative research ranks low. However, this claim seems undue as
it neglects many other aspects that are important to medicine such as patient variability and
subjective experience. Phenomenology which focuses on the study on lived experience can
add on to these weakness by employing a pluralistic approach. As such, phenomenology can
serve as the bridge between integrating subjective experience and objective health research. |
