Dr. Jerome Groopman has written an excellent book entitled How Doctors Think– it’s mostly for a lay audience but is a good read for clinicians as well.

Thanks, have enjoyed episode one and will continue to follow. Like the engaging and informal style. An unexpected but pleasant surprise to find you are adopted Kiwis, as I am. Will recommend to colleagues. Look forward to hearing more.

Enjoyed your first episode (“How Doctors Think”).
You may get useful ideas from the just published book: Trowbridge RL et al. Teaching Clinical Reasoning from the ACP Teaching Medicine series (ACP; Philadelphia PA USA, 2015).
Similarly, the “pretest” questions derive from the Frederick paper (adapted from Frederick S Cognitive reflection and decision making.
H Econ Perspectives 2005; 19: 25-42) and the fascinating Cognitive Reflection Test. Well done. [I am in the early stages of planning an e-book on teaching clinical reasoning for preclinical students, IM residents, and practitioners with medicolegal difficulty.]
