abstract = {The emergence of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) as the gold-standard practice
in biomedicine and public health practices represents a significant epistemological
turn in modern medicine. The development of Evidence-Based Public Health (EBPH)
followed the emergence of Evidence-Based Medicine, as an attempt to ground health
policies and interventions on «sound facts». The present paper analyzes the historical
and sociological roots of this turn. We evaluate the ethical and social consequences
of this transformation, both within the medical profession (the polarization between
a medical elite which strengthened its professional status, and a rank and file which experienced a process of «de-professionalization») and in its relationship to the welfare
state (the link between the medical elite, EBM, EBPH and the commodification of
health care and public health).},
