IMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and StudentsOur final episodeWe cannot put this off any longer. IMreasoning has reached the end of its road. We had a great 5 years. We both learned so much, about medicine, about cognition, about the art of teaching, about each other, and about ourselves. Thank you once again to all of you, our listeners, for sticking with us. Thank you especially to those who got in touch, and gave us encouragement to continue this project over the past 5 years. Thank you as well to all of you who appeared and participated in the podcast, to present stump the chumps case...

2018-08-0147 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students42: Becoming an Expert DiagnosticianWe chat once again with Gurpreet Dhaliwal, this time about what it takes to become a master diagnostician. We discuss the main strategies; seeing many cases, deliberate training, getting feedback, closing the loop, and others.
2018-07-0354 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students41: WordsWe discuss the importance of the words that we choose to use in our medical documentation. Words matter! They can generate stigma, and they can bias the decisions we subsequently make as practitioners.

2017-03-1540 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students25: Revisiting Dual Process ThinkingDo all diagnostic errors occur because we're rushing, and prematurely jumping to conclusions?

Its a short follow up continuing with our theme of feedback. How do we provide an evaluation for a strong performer? Does it help them to hear how great they are? Will it be a useful session? Will it help them improve even further? Leave us your thoughts on our new Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/IMreasoning
2016-05-1717 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students15: FeedbackIn this episode we begin our foray into the topic of feedback. You will hear us "worry out loud", together with our guest Dr. Chris Watling from the University of Western Ontario, about the difficulties in giving effective feedback to our trainees. Several themes arise from our conversation. Feedback needs to be specific, credible, and not soul-destroying (although ironically, we each shared some of our most traumatic feedback experiences as the most memorable, and influential, course-correcting moments). How we give and receive feedback is not only dependent on the individuals involved, but also importantly on the culture of t...
2016-05-0858 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students14: Cognitive Autopsy of a groin lumpWe're trying something new this week.

2016-03-2152 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students13: Stump the Chumps - take 3Finally, our much awaited third try with Stump the Chumps. This time one of our registrars Dr. Brian Grainger challenges us with a case of a young patient.

We talk to Dr. Tony Fernando, psychiatrist, sleep specialist, educator and researcher, about compassion in healthcare, happiness, mindfulness, enlightenment, buddhist monks, and a bunch of other stuff. Enjoy!
2016-01-061h 05IMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students11: Stump the Chumps - take 2We bring you our second attempt at "stump the chumps". Our friend and colleague Oliver Menzies brought an interesting case. We think this case was not quite as enigmatic as our first one (episode 5) but we hope it illustrates sound clinical reasoning as we work our way through the clinical information. Enjoy.
2015-11-2625 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students10: The Second VictimWhen we talk about medical errors, we need to remember that there are two victims; the patient who suffers harm as a result of the error, and the clinician who makes the error. As long as the practice of medicine remains a human endeavour, medical errors are inevitable. As a medical community we need to accept that errors will occur. We need to talk about them openly and honestly, share our own stories, and support our colleagues when they share their stories with us. As members of society, we should better understand the fallibility of medical practitioners, and we nee...
2015-11-0339 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students9: The Human Diagnosis ProjectThe future is coming. In this episode we talk to Shantanu Nundy of the Human Diagnosis Project (HumanDx). As Shantanu describes it, HumanDx is a worldwide effort to map any health problem to its possible diagnoses. We have come across various projects that aim to create that elusive, high-fidelity, real-life, artificial intelligence of diagnosis. HumanDx is building that AI by connecting the knowledge, experience, and real-life cases from all of us. This is OUR project. We think that HumanDx is the real thing. Enjoy!

Although you have already heard snippets of our conversation on prior episodes, we thought we would share the entire interview with all of you. Gurpreet has an enlightening way of explaining how we think, and how we move from good clinicians to expert clinicians, through extended problem-solving and feedback.
2015-08-0841 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students3: Differential Diagnosis and Problem RepresentationThe differential diagnosis is at the heart of analytic thinking for the diagnostician. Dr. Mark Graber agrees. As the founder of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, he should know. It can overcome many of the biases we are prone to when we limit ourselves only to diagnosis by pattern recognition. We discuss some simple approaches to generating a differential diagnosis and developing a problem representation.
2015-08-0130 minIMreasoning - Clinical reasoning for Doctors and Students2: BiasesWe continue laying the foundations of type 1 and type 2 thinking with a discussion about biases. Once again we hear from Prof. Gurpreet Dhaliwal and some of his thoughts on the utility of studying metacognition.
