Medicine is a sense of proportion!
“…Whoever saves a life; saves all of the
humankind….”
Sound Clinical Reasoning Saves lives!
Clinical medicine represents a unique blend of science and art, embodying our motto, "Quality Healthcare through Education and Research." As a science, it relies on rigorous research and evidence-based practices to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, ensuring that healthcare is grounded in the latest medical knowledge. Simultaneously, it is an art that requires empathy, intuition, and the ability to connect with patients on a personal level. By providing outstanding learning opportunities and fostering cutting-edge inquiry, we emphasize the importance of this duality, equipping healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, effective care tailored to each individual's needs.
Clinical MetaLearn (learn how to learn) is the key to developing medical expertise. It involves understanding how all pieces of the entire clinical puzzle fit together. Meaningful learning is an active, integrative, and inquiry-based process. It is a mix of active study and action-learning with reflection on experience. It enables medical trainees and clinicians to memorize the founding knowledge (i.e., illness script) in the clinical context and utilize management algorithm (i.e., reasoning script) to solve clinical problems. Clinical reasoning represents the central component of professional competence and is relevant to all disciplines of healthcare.
