An interactive training curriculum for clinical reasoning
Collaborative Projects Between NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Med2Lab Inc.
Clinical Reasoning
= thinking about the patient and the clinical scenario in a logical, sensible way
Ideally, the provider uses robust clinical reasoning to ...
1) prioritize patient information correctly
2) customize the approach based upon that individual patient’s concerns, and
3) provides efficient and effective treatment
However, in reality, providers often use pattern recognition and offers a series of guesses about the patient’s ailment
This pattern recognition-driven thinking is subject to the provider’s quantity and quality of experience, as well as bad thinking habits, that lead to unnecessary tests and delayed or ineffective treatment
What’s wrong with the status quo?
Current teaching in medical schools and textbooks are based on population-level approaches.
Conventional textbooks describe “the classic way each illness shows up,” but many patients are “atypical”
Symptoms and signs from the individual patient point to the correct problem to test/treat for that specific patient.
How UCR Works
The AI-driven UCR platform empowers you with better clinical reasoning skills through interactive modules that provide you with constructive feedback tailored to the decisions you make and thought patterns you have.
Our virtual patients are whom you will interact with as you take their history, examine them, and put in orders--all the while allowing you to see how they improve or worsen through different time points as you progress with their care.
Our virtual coach will pop up at certain moments to ask you relevant questions about the decision(s) that you had just made or about to make, in order to properly assess your thinking.
At the end of the module, the Virtual Coach will walk you through your performance in each of the six clinical reasoning domains to show you where you are strong or weak, and give you encouraging feedback on where and how you can improve further.
The 6 Domains of Clinical Reasoning:
Disease Knowledge
Medical Science Knowledge
Reasoning Principles
Applied Reasoning
Pattern Recognition
Decision-Making Efficiency
Our virtual patients are whom you will interact with as you take their history, examine them, and put in orders--all the while allowing you to see how they improve or worsen through different time points as you progress with their care.
The curriculum was developed and validated by the faculty at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, powered by Med2Lab cloud-based learning platform.
