Medical Students’ Clinical Reasoning During a Simulated Viral Pandemic: Evidence of Cognitive Integration and Insights on Novices’ Approach to Diagnostic Reasoning	2020-05-06		.txt	text/plain	4562	193	32	The objectives of this study were to characterize how first-year medical students integrated knowledge to problem-solve during a simulated viral pandemic and to characterize students' diagnostic reasoning approach to this clinical scenario. These reports also provided insights into first-year medical students' diagnostic reasoning approach, which consisted primarily of a compare-contrast process between the clinical features of patients in the case scenario versus illness scripts of known diseases, though a subset of students also applied a causal approach to identify candidate diseases. The use of a compare-contrast approach we observed among students' reports following the pandemic simulation is likely explained by the fact that their biomedical knowledge base was not yet sufficient at that point in their training to allow them to analyze the clinical data of the pandemic case with a causal approach. This study provides insight into early medical students' diagnostic reasoning approach and information-seeking behaviors during self-directed learning tasks.	./cache/cord-010639-6d0u79f1.txt	./txt/cord-010639-6d0u79f1.txt
