Clinical reasoning is a crucial ability for all practicing clinicians, yet explicit instruction in clinical reasoning is often lacking. Although teaching clinical reasoning poses challenges, this cluster of skills can and should be developed to ensure safe patient outcomes. In this webinar, clinical reasoning expert Dr. Raja-Elie Abdulnour guides educators through the cognitive processes and models that learners experience as they progress through the stages of clinical reasoning. When teaching clinical reasoning, educators must provide the right amount of data at the right time to avoid cognitive overload, and to do this they must recognize the learners’ stage to provide the appropriate guidance. Dr. Abdulnour shows educators teaching future clinicians the discrete steps of clinical reasoning, including explanations of key concepts and terminology in the clinical reasoning process.
