Differential Diagnosis (release in progress)

by Stephen Holt, MD, MS
Differential diagnosis is the systematic process of considering various possible medical conditions or diseases that could explain a patient's symptoms or clinical findings. It involves gathering and analyzing data, such as medical history, physical examination results, and diagnostic tests, to narrow down the list of potential diagnoses and ultimately identify the most likely explanation for the patient's condition. This critical thinking skill is essential for healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose and treat patients.

Proficiency in this fundamental skill is paramount in medical practice, driving informed treatment strategies and enhancing patient outcomes. This course builds upon existing knowledge of medical fundamentals, bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in clinical settings.
