Abstract

This is a special installment of our Leaders in Medicine Series. Two discussants, Dr. Rabih Geha and Dr. Reza Manesh, renowned for their work with their multifaceted medical education initiative, The Clinical Problem Solvers. They have put together an impressive lineup of educational materials, including a weekly podcast, website, a virtual morning report, diagnostic schemas, practice cases, and common illness scripts as well as an active presence on Med Ed twitter. Our very own IM Chief Resident Ryan Augustin will be presenting them a case to hear Rabih and Reza think aloud and demonstrate their clinical reasoning over the course of the hour.
