Clinical reasoning is the complex thinking and decision-making used to come to a diagnosis and management plan. It’s a core competency of clinical practice – but because it involves many elements and unconscious processes, it’s both difficult to learn and teach.

Clinical Reasoning in the Health Professions provides the concepts and frameworks healthcare professionals need to be able to reason effectively, make sound and defensible clinical decisions, and learn from experience as they develop from student to practitioner.

Edited by leading experts in the field from Australia and the US, this fifth edition presents the latest understandings and evidence around clinical reasoning in clinical practice, and how can it be taught and assessed. It’s ideal for both undergraduate and post-graduate health students as well as academic and clinical health educators.
