Description

This course covers teaching of the steps in the clinical process, inductive and deductive strategies, data collection and its flaws, the reliability of clinical evidence, intuition and clinical memory. The candidate will explore investigation and sufficiency of evidence, strength of clinical and investigational evidence, interpretation and misinterpretation, logical processes in clinical inference and plausibility of diagnosis. The course will introduce the utility of expert systems and computer-aided diagnosis. Assignments include the study of clinical reasoning in the candidate's setting and the design for teaching about these processes.
