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. The second edition of the »ABC of Clinical Reasoning« breaks down clinical reasoning into its core components and explores each of these in more detail, including the applications for clinical practice, teaching, and learning.

Informed by the latest evidence from cognitive psychology, education, and studies of expertise, this edition has been extensively re-written and updated, and covers:

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
Situativity and human factors
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.
