    This study explored first-year medical students' abstract problem-solving skills. Findings suggest foundational reasoning abilities are key for developing clinical reasoning in medical education.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Clinical reasoning is a critical skill in medicine, requiring integration of general problem-solving with medical knowledge.
    • Medical education increasingly prioritizes the systematic development of clinical reasoning abilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the abstract problem-solving capabilities of first-year medical undergraduates.
    • To establish a baseline for future research on clinical reasoning development.

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary study was conducted using abstract problems.
    • A simple, nonmedical knowledge base was employed to assess reasoning skills.

    Main Results:

    • First-year medical undergraduates demonstrated abilities in solving abstract problems.
