Abstract

This paper discusses an ongoing series of studies. An initial study of diagnostic problem solving in internal medicine involved medical students, residents, and experts solving a set of cases while thinking aloud. Verbal protocol data was used to develop a coding scheme that was applied to the data. Results included a cycle of planning, hypothesizing, and data collection that was important for solving medical cases in this context. The study results were used to design Case2Solve, a computer-based learning environment (CBLE) that supports medical students as they learn to diagnose medical cases. The supports include realistic diagnostic tasks and support for hypothesis generation and revision, planning, and access to expertise. Future plans to evaluate the effectiveness of Case2Solve in terms of learning outcomes, as well as plans to evaluate it in undergraduate medical training are also presented. It will be implemented according to an integrated classroom – E-Learning model.
