Medical Definition of Scientific method
1. The universally-accepted, organised approach to the study of science, which consists of the following steps: 1. Observation - collecting data. 2. Hypothesis - forming a preliminary possible explanation of the data. 3. Testing - test the hypothesis by collecting more data. 4. Results - interpreting the results of the test and deciding if the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis is rejected if the results contradict it, showing that it is wrong. 5. Conclusion - stating a conclusion that can be evaluated independently by others. (09 Oct 1997)
