Abstract

This paper aims to review how ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) can be applied in a wide variety of practices in health and medical clinics in terms of using recording devices and interventional contributions in clinical practices and also to show the significance of EMCA in these fields of studies. After lengthy consideration, the study first confirms the reflexivity between developing available and accessible recording machines and expanding the areas of investigation in health and medical clinics. The research then shows that ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, the main purpose of which is to establish a clear order of practical activities with some observation, can also contribute to clinical practices through various methods of intervention. The study also confirms that such contributions have already been made on a relatively large scale.
