A Pilot Longitudinal Clinical Reasoning Curriculum for Pediatric Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Clinical reasoning (CR) is required for physicians. Pediatric residents often gain CR skills through experiential learning. Currently, deliberate education on CR targeted toward pediatric residents is inconsistent. Our objective was to implement a pilot CR curriculum, including five hour-long sessions, and evaluate its impact on self-identified CR Milestones and comfort with CR skills.

Methods

We used Kern's six steps for curriculum development to develop our curriculum. Five morning report sessions included didactics and small-group activities. Pre/post surveys assessed resident self-identified level on ACGME Milestones related to CR skills (Patient Care 4 [PC4] and Medical Knowledge 2 [MK2]) and comfort with CR skills. The postsurvey assessed resident attitude
