Mastering Clinical Reasoning

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
