NUS-Priority Research In Medical Education
Effect of Deliberate Reflection on Diagnostic Performance
Accurate diagnosis is a pivotal clinical expertise. However, there is no agreement on
the best way to improve diagnostic performance. Emerging evidence from
experiments studies comparing different strategies to improve diagnostic expertise
will be reviewed. We will also describe a collaborative program between NUS Yong
Loo Lin School of Medicine, ITE and Erasmus University in the Netherlands which
investigates the short and long term effects of deliberate reflection on diagnostic
performance in medical residents by using simulated clinical protocols on
representative diagnostic problems developed and validated in the local setting.
