| Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) has been described as, "the conscientious, explicity and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions in making decisions about the care of individual patients."((January 13, 1996 | D. L. Sackett et al | [[BMJ]] | Evidence based medicine: what it is and what it isn't. | [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2349778/|doi: 10.1136/bmj.312.7023.71]])) It is entirely unclear from this and other decisions how this distinguishes EBM from "medicine" most generally given that even that initially self-described anti-scientific schools of medicine (such as chiropractic medicine) have generally grown to be inclusive of scientific observation. It is more likely that EBM expresses a certain level of deference toward political institutions that use science as a banner of supremacism. | Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) has been described as, "the conscientious, explicity and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions in making decisions about the care of individual patients."((January 13, 1996 | D.

| Our historiographical research in this paper is based on an analysis of Flexner's Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the [[Carnegie Foundation]] for the Advancement of Teaching (1910) and the available secondary scholarly, medical, and psychiatric literature on the subject. | Our historiographical research in this paper is based on an analysis of Flexner's Medical Education in the United States and Canada: A Report to the [[:Carnegie Foundation]] for the Advancement of Teaching (1910) and the available secondary scholarly, medical, and psychiatric literature on the subject. |

| By way of an introduction, textbooks and journal articles on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Psychiatry are also briefly discussed. Finally, we will scrutinize gray literature and pamphlets published by both the American National Institutes of Health [[NIH]] and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research [[CIHR]], as these pertained to the relationship between the biomedical paradigm and CAM-related approaches after the publication of the [[Flexner Report]] and, in particular, the inclusion of complementary and alternative therapies and approaches in psychiatry during the second half of the 20th century. This perspective will allow the impact of the Flexner Report to be placed within a contemporary context and its long-lasting effects analyzed. | By way of an introduction, textbooks and journal articles on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Psychiatry are also briefly discussed.
