IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY OF DEVELOPING CLINICAL THINKING COMPETENCIES AMONG FUTURE DOCTORS.
Keywords:
clinical thinking, medical education, problem-based learning, simulation, pedagogical methodologyAbstract
Developing clinical thinking competencies among future physicians is one of the
core objectives of modern medical education. The dynamic nature of medicine,
combined with rapid scientific and technological advancements, requires medical
students to develop the ability to analyze clinical data, reason diagnostically, and make
evidence-based decisions. This study aims to improve the methodology of forming
clinical thinking competencies among medical students through the integration of
simulation-based learning, problem-based learning (PBL), and reflective practice. A
mixed-methods research design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed
pedagogical model that enhances clinical reasoning, diagnostic accuracy, and decision
making skills.
