Summary

Understanding how clinicians reason may strengthen diagnostic skill development. This study finds that a six-month curriculum based on dual-process and script theory helped residents apply key clinical reasoning strategies, including better problem representation, compared with partial or no training. Although overall diagnostic thinking scores did not significantly improve, the curriculum showed promise for developing practical reasoning skills.
