Course overview
This interactive mystery case explores how seemingly straightforward presentations can conceal high-risk diagnoses. It highlights how breakdowns in information gathering, disciplined differential diagnosis, and communication contribute to medical malpractice exposure. Through polling and discussion, participants will examine diagnostic reasoning, bias recognition, documentation strategies that support AI, identification of critical inflection points, and effective responses when new information requires a change in clinical direction.
