Visualizing Clinical Decision-Making in Medical Education and Training
At VisualDx we are thinking about, and innovating upon, these fundamental challenges:
- How do we improve clinical reasoning and differential diagnosis skills?
- How do we improve the learner’s logical competence?
- How do we get our students to be life-long information acquirers of knowledge and evidence?
We offer a solution to these questions through our hybridizing clinical decision support with educational cases. By using problem-based exercises in conjunction with clinical decision support technology students develop better clinical reasoning skills and learn the importance of evidence.
