ABC of Clinical Reasoning

Being a good clinician is not only about knowledge — how doctors and other healthcare professionals think, reason, and make decisions is arguably their most critical skill.

Key components of clinical reasoning: evidence-based history and examination, choosing and interpreting diagnostic tests, problem identification and management, and shared decision-making
Key concepts in clinical reasoning, such dual process theories, and script theory

Metacognition and cognitive strategies
Teaching clinical reasoning

From a team of expert authors, the ABC of Clinical Reasoning is essential reading for all students, clinical teachers, curriculum planners and clinicians involved in diagnosis.
