Differential Diagnosis and Clinical Reasoning: A Case Based Learning Experience!
Description
This dynamic and fun two-hour session will use case-based learning, covering a real-world, outpatient orthopedic case with case based discussion to facilitate an active learning experience. Application of patient-centered and evidence-informed practice will be included with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and meta-cognitive processes utilizing the test retest model. The session is designed to help learners understand how to effectively obtain a thorough subjective examination that supports hypothesis development, planning of an appropriate objective examination and supportive treatment that seek to implement the hypothetico-deductive reasoning model.
