Annual Meeting Virtual Seminar Sampler

The FMEC is excited to share a sampling of seminars from our 2022 Annual Meeting with faculty, residents and students throughout the region. The sessions are some of the many highly-rated seminars that were presented in Arlington, VA in September 2022. Like the FMEC meeting, they cover topics ranging from patient care to medical education to leadership and advocacy. The presenters have graciously agreed to present them again virtually, so everyone can benefit. Learn more

Clinical Reasoning: Don’t Be Indifferent About Your Differential
Link to register

Diagnostic error in medicine affects approximately 12 million patients each year. This session will cover key concepts in clinical reasoning, how we make errors, and methods to address these challenges. We will define and discuss problem representations, illness scripts, dual-process theory, cognitive biases and other major topics in this field. As a group, we will reason through a clinical case, focusing on the diagnostic process, and perform a cognitive autopsy afterwards. Additionally, this session will overview a curriculum design for residency programs to teach clinical reasoning to residents and medical students.
