Now available - Clinical reasoning presentation 14: Clinical reasoning bootcamp with David Toomey
In this presentation with David Toomey (Musculoskeletal Physio) you’ll work through the case study of a low back and hip pain patient, and put your clinical reasoning to the test. You’ll identify important information, biopsychosocial factors, evidence for and against potential diagnoses, objective tests and treatment options you’d perform with this patient.
There’s more than one way to “skin a cat”, and similarly each expert practitioner will have a unique clinical reasoning approach with patients. Each of the expert clinicians on the Clinical Edge Senior Physio Education & Presentation team will take you through their clinical reasoning approach to this case study. One or more of these approaches will appeal to you, and you can adopt the strategies of these experts to create or expand your unique clinical reasoning approach.
This is a detailed two part presentation in which you’ll experience the reasoning process of expert clinicians, and build your clinical reasoning.
In Part One, after you work through the case study yourself, Paula Peralta (Specialist Sports Physio) and Nick Kendrick (Musculoskeletal & Sports Physio) will take you through their clinical reasoning process with the same patient. You’ll identify different clinical reasoning strategies the experts use to clarify the information you need from each patient, how to identify potential diagnoses and treatment options, while gaining confidence that you’re on the right track.
You’ll also discover:
- 5 clinical reasoning habits you can use immediately to improve your treatment results.
- How to use clinical reasoning reflection forms, including the Musculoskeletal Clinical Translation Framework and the University of South Australia clinical reasoning form.
- How to start with small clinical reasoning habits to achieve big success.
- A clinical reasoning review you can perform in 30 seconds.
