#17 - Clinical Reasoning Styles
from The Psych Commute with Dr. Brown · host Brandon Lee Brown, MD
How do you clinch the diagnosis efficiently? In this audio essay I review some of the main clinical reasoning styles that physicians of all specialties must use when presented with a new clinical case. Namely, we discuss inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and pattern-matching. Being able to identify which reasoning process you’re using in a case could save you from diagnostic errors. In a follow-up episode I will give some longer-form concrete examples. This is a public episode.
