The Clinical Reasoning Mapping Exercise (CResME): a new tool for exploring clinical reasoning.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

National organizations have identified a need for the creation of novel approaches to teach clinical reasoning throughout medical education. The aim of this project was to develop, implement and evaluate a novel clinical reasoning mapping exercise (CResME).
