Clinical Decision-Making Models and Diagnostic Reasoning

Clinical decision-making is central to safe and effective healthcare practice. This course provides an advanced exploration of diagnostic reasoning frameworks used across nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Participants will examine cognitive models of clinical reasoning, recognize common diagnostic errors, and apply structured decision-making frameworks to complex patient scenarios. Through narrated modules, interactive cases, and reflective exercises, clinicians will strengthen their ability to synthesize patient data, evaluate competing diagnoses, and make defensible clinical decisions.
