CVM 701 Clinical Reasoning builds on foundational clinical reasoning skills to prepare students for clinical practice through structured, case-based learning. Students gain experience in developing prioritized problem and differential diagnoses lists, selecting and interpreting diagnostic tests, and formulating evidence-based treatment plans; while refining decision-making and recognition of cognitive biases. The course also supports NAVLE preparation through application of clinical reasoning to exam-style questions and development of effective test-taking strategies.
