An essential clinical reasoning skill for learners to master is the ability to generate differential diagnoses which are appropriately prioritized (including both “most likely” and “less likely” diagnoses) and comprehensive (including “can’t miss” and rare diagnoses). Teaching this type of reasoning skill requires a systematic approach which allows clinician educators to impart complex implicit knowledge in a manner that is well-organized and comprehensible to learners.
