This report discusses the creation of a longitudinal, spiral clinical reasoning curriculum within a large UK medical school programme, emphasizing the importance of systematic and evidence-based reform to develop clinical reasoning throughout medical education. The focus is on utilizing recognized models for curriculum development and mapping to relate learning outcomes to competency frameworks and implementing multiple teaching methodologies rooted in enquiry-based learning to encourage metacognition.
There is consensus that clinical reasoning (CR) is crucial for increasing the value of diagnosis, medical decision-making and error reduction. These skills should be developed throughout medical education, starting with undergraduate study. International guidance provides principles for CR curricula but interventions to date, are short term in nature. In this report, we describe the creation of a longitudinal, spiral CR curriculum within a large UK medical school programme (2500 students). A working group drove systematic evidence-based reform of existing structures. We utilised recognised models for curriculum development and mapping, relating learning outcomes to competency frameworks. Application of multiple teaching methodologies, rooted in enquiry-based learning and reported in CR literature, encourage metacognition for information-processing and illness script development. Development of CR is emphasised with recurrent, progressive learning opportunities, each stage purposefully building upon previous experiences. Formative and summative assessment approaches to drive learning, encouraging students' ability to apply and articulate CR, is constructed via Miller's Prism of Clinical Competence. Implementation of pedagogy is contingent on faculty development. Whilst many clinicians practice sound CR, the ability to articulate it to students is often a novel skill. Engagement in faculty development was strengthened through cross-institutional recognition of teaching worldoad and flexibility of delivery. We report lessons learned from the implementation phase and plans for measuring impact.
