Abstract
Clinical reasoning is a fundamental aspect of providing effective and safe clinical care, yet it remains a challenging concept to teach in the clinical setting. Drawing parallels to Sherlock Holmes' deductive reasoning, this article explores how Holmes' techniques can make clinical reasoning more tangible for learners. Unlike algorithmic steps, clinical reasoning involves complex cognitive processes. By highlighting key concepts through Sherlockian maxims, this article aims to enhance the understanding and teaching of clinical reasoning.
