Problem-oriented Medical Diagnosis: The Seventh Edition of Friedman's Classic Textbook

In the last few years, Clinical Reasoning Learning has been used during clinical training courses in many universities. The goal of this educational activity is to develop problem solving and diagnosis skills in medicine, using previously acquired medical knowledge. We propose the integration of educational resources and computer systems to help students during the reasoning process, and in order to prepare students to look for medical information. We also describe a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environment that integrates Information and Communication Technologies in order to improve the Clinical Reasoning Learning Sessions.

Many patients have mild symptoms that respond quickly to changes in diet or medications. If symptoms do not improve, your clinician may ask you more questions about your medical history and perform some diagnostic tests to rule out a physical abnormality, infection, or cancer. For some people, symptoms improve as soon as a serious diagnosis has been ruled out (another example of how emotional stress affects the gut!). Your doctor may also recommend symptom-specific medications. But sometimes these treatments are not enough. As symptoms become more severe, so does the likelihood that a patient is experiencing some sort of psychological distress. 2ff7e9595c
