Abstract

Developing expertise in clinical reasoning and diagnosis poses an enormous challenge to health science students. In a three-phase project, we identified the difficulties that health science students in initial training have with clinical reasoning, designed and implemented an online vicarious learning system to address those difficulties, and evaluated the outcomes in terms of learners' experiences, diagnostic skill development and use of professional language.
