Description
Yoshinori Tokushima and co-authors describe a case conference format designed to teach clinical reasoning more clearly. Their 2024 paper starts from a teaching problem: expert doctors reason well but often cannot show beginners how they do it. Real-case conferences can hide the very process they aim to teach.
Their format gives each participant a set role: moderator, learner, presenter, and commentator. The presenter frames the case with paired contrast terms, called semantic qualifiers, before and after the history is told. Learners offer a snap diagnosis, then build a full list of possibilities as more data arrives. The group closes by fixing the final diagnosis and the next test strategy. The design leans on dual-process theory, the idea that fast intuition and slow analysis both serve diagnosis.
