AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), General Attendance (1.00 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (1.00 hours)

Most research and educational efforts related to clinical reasoning have focused on diagnostic reasoning. Yet, there is growing recognition of the need for work in the realm of management reasoning, which Cook and colleagues have recently defined as “the process of making decisions about patient management, including choices about treatment, follow-up visits, further testing, and allocation of limited resources.” While making the correct diagnosis is critical, much of the clinician’s role can be defined by management reasoning, which can occur before and after diagnosis. Management reasoning plays a crucial role in patient outcomes and likely factors heavily in medical errors as well as low-value healthcare practices. Further, management reasoning entails the clinician’s application of clinical reasoning within the complex social milieu that defines modern medicine, as they must consider the limitations of their healthcare context and partner with patients in shared decision-making. During this interactive session, we will review what is currently known about management reasoning, comparing it to diagnostic reasoning. Participants will then engage with case studies to practice various teaching strategies for incorporating management reasoning into their teaching for learners at all levels.

WSU Graduate Medical Education programs and the Office of Faculty Affairs and Continuing Professional Development design and deliver up-to-date content in medical education topics for practitioners working with residents. The aim of these sessions is to promote active learning and engagement, fostering a community of faculty as educators, and improving the overall health of our patients and communities.

1. Demonstrate methods for effectively teaching learners in a variety of clinical environments.
2. Demonstrate methods for assessing learners in a variety of clinical environments.
3. Review management reasoning as a part of clinical reasoning.
4. Discuss foundational concepts in management reasoning.
5. Introduce tools for teaching management reasoning by learner level.
