Live Webinar: From Encapsulated Learning to Deliberate Reflection: Implications for Teaching and Assessing Clinical Reasoning

Monday, July 21st, 2025
3:00 - 4:00pm ET / 12:00 - 1:00pm PT

Clinical reasoning is a complex cognitive process that health professions trainees must learn to provide safe and effective clinical care of patients. Timely and targeted teaching of foundational science principles contemporaneous with clinical learning is critical for building diagnostic reasoning skills amongst health professions trainees. As discussed in our prior webinar on this topic, the development of encapsulated foundational science knowledge can drive critical thinking and clinical reasoning. As an extension of this work, Deliberate Reflection is a structured tool that fosters diagnostic accuracy and moderates the effects of certain types of cognitive bias. How might implementing Deliberate Reflection into your curriculum and assessment processes enhance your clinical reasoning program?

Join Todd Cassese, MD, FACP, a Professor of Medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as we revisit the concept of encapsulated learning and explore the exciting work in Deliberate Reflection. We hope you’ll come away with some new ideas and techniques you can implement in your approach to teaching and assessing clinical reasoning and critical thinking.
