Occam’s Razor is a timeless principle first articulated by William of Ockham, a 14th-century friar and philosopher. Known as the law of parsimony, it teaches us that the simplest explanation is often the correct one. In medicine, this approach is essential—when a patient presents with multiple symptoms, we seek a unifying diagnosis rather than separate explanations for each complaint.

This philosophy serves as the foundation for Occam’s Razor: The Blog, a periodical dedicated to exploring the art of clinical reasoning. Here, you will find concise reflections on real-world medical problem-solving, relevant healthcare news, and thought-provoking stories that bridge medicine, education, and humanity.
