This entertaining and provocative session will present leaders in clinical reasoning as they solve a case with data gradually given to them in real-time, engaging each other and the audience members in the process. The presenters will identify and highlight the methods and reasoning used in solving the case as well as approaches that can be put into practice.
Learning Objectives
- Participate in problem solving by a variety of expert approaches to diagnostic reasoning;
- Describe common approaches for avoiding diagnostic errors when solving cases;
- Identify methods for teaching clinical reasoning through solving cases.
