Clinical reasoning is a complex cognitive process. Diagnosing and remediating clinical reasoning difficulties in learners requires faculty to have an understanding of the cognitive theory behind clinical reasoning, familiarity with terminology, and a framework to identify different domains of struggle in their learners. This interactive workshop includes a small didactic component preceding case-based learning during which small groups practice diagnosing different domains of clinical reasoning difficulties and recommending strategies to remediate these deficiencies. In follow-up to the session, we hope that participants will deliver this workshop to their own faculty and residents to improve clinical reasoning instruction across the curriculum.
This session may be of interest to Clerkship Directors and CMC core faculty.
