Call for papers by GMS Journal for Medical Education for its special issue on clinical reasoning
Making decisions in the clinical setting has attracted the attention of the scientific community and public, due to the perceived high rate of error in clinical practice. In addition, it is increasingly becoming a topic in post-licensure training and post-graduate education. Determining a diagnosis is a central component of clinical reasoning and an important pre-requisite for successful problem solving in the professional medical setting. The act of diagnosing can be understood as the targeted gathering and synthesis of case specific information for the purpose of reducing uncertainties when making medical decisions.
A special issue of GMS Journal for Medical Education (JME) will be published addressing this important topic.
