Stud Health Technol Inform. 2002:90:107-11.

Abstract

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.
