    Developing problem-solving skills in medical education is crucial. Research shows physicians generate hypotheses early, using limited data, and clinical competence grows with experience and knowledge.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Cognitive Science
    • Clinical Reasoning

    Context:

    • National and international bodies emphasize problem-solving instruction in medical curricula.
    • Physician problem-solving is a hypothetical-deductive process where early hypotheses guide information gathering.

    Purpose:

    • To review research on the cognitive processes in medical problem-solving.
    • To describe effective instructional methods for developing these abilities in medical students.
    • To present educational principles supporting these methods.

    Summary:

    • Physician problem-solving involves early hypothesis generation with limited data, a small set of hypotheses, and problem-specific approaches.
    • Clinical competence is built upon accumulated medical knowledge and experience.
