Cognitive Training in Clinical Decision-Making

Become an expert diagnostician like Dr Gurpreet Dhaliwal, Professor of Medicine at UCSF. Join us for this deep dive into clinical reasoning and how doctors think! Topics include: how to improve your own clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills, how to teach these skills, and the initial steps to building your own expertise/mastery in clinical medicine! Dr. Osler once admonished his students to build experiential wisdom and follow-up with their clinical cases (clear cases, doubtful cases, and mistakes), but to do so, one must “...learn to play the game fair, no self-deception, no shrinking from the truth; mercy and consideration for the other man, but none for yourself, upon whom you have to keep an incessant watch.” Test yo’ self: Take our quiz here
