Hands-on Guide to Clinical Reasoning in Medicine
A bit about the book
The most difficult aspect of clinical medicine that students and younger doctors struggle with, is applying theory to practice. How do we take an informed history or do a focused physical exam? How do we come to a diagnosis? How do we decide whether to investigate or treat? How do we interpret the test results? When do we start treatment? All difficult questions that few books touch upon let alone elaborate. Yet, this is what every clinician does, day-in, day-out. This is what is tested vigorously in our exams and real life.
The normal trajectory that we follow in learning this, is spread out over several years, if not decades. What if I could help you travel this distance quicker by giving you the essence of it in a book, using clinical examples in real-time? What if I could do this, not in flesh but in spirit, guiding you every step of the way, all the while having a wonderful conversation with you and getting you to crack the problems with me? Would you not enjoy this?
Hands-on Guide to Clinical Reasoning in Medicine does all this in a nutshell and more! I hope you enjoy it.
p.s. Make sure you avail of the online resource ‘Reflective Action Guide’ on the Wiley website which truly personalises your learning to your own unique environment.
