Sun Yat-sen University via XuetangX

Overview






Clinical reasoning is the cornerstone of effective healthcare practice. It is what allows clinicians to gather information, analyze patient presentations, and make informed decisions that lead to the best possible outcomes. Whether you are working with patients in rehabilitation, acute care, or community settings, mastering clinical reasoning will enhance your ability to assess, plan, and adapt interventions based on real-world challenges.

In this module, we will explore:

  • What clinical reasoning is and why it matters in patient care

  • The different types of clinical reasoning and how they apply in various clinical settings

  • The step-by-step clinical reasoning process, from initial assessment to treatment planning

  • How to develop critical thinking skills to navigate complex cases with confidence

Through case studies, interactive discussions, and practical applications, this course will equip you with the tools to think like a clinician, ensuring that your decisions are patient-centered, evidence-based, and clinically sound.

By the end of this module, you will not only understand how to approach patient cases systematically, but you will also gain the confidence to make independent, well-reasoned clinical decisions in your future practice.
