Abstract
Science is aimed at universal knowledge. Art is aimed at action for solving concrete and local problems. Can medical practice therefore ever be a science even when employing important aspects of scientific practice such as precise concepts and vocabulary, and a demand for well‐validated facts together with rational reasoning? Evaluation of medical and clinical practices in general has an ambiguous status. According to the domain to be evaluated, it can reach a level of science in providing results of universal value but more often it is closer to art, the results remaining of local interest. There is no strict correlation between the universal‐local axis and the practical interest for public health. Epidemiologists should consider these matters very seriously and aim to contribute to, rather than discard, their significance for the advancement of clinical practice.
