Engineering-based interdisciplinary education for health systems problem solving.

This paper examines the educational challenges created by the existence of complex health care delivery systems and the need to train analysts and problem solvers to work effectively within these systems. An undergraduate, interdisciplinary curriculum, based in the College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is described which addresses these challenges. One particular course is used to illustrate how cognitive and experiential learning approaches are combined to provide the student with a bridge between acquiring technical skills and applying them sensitively in a real world context.

Clinical problem solving: the beginning of the process.

The diagnostic thinking process is often described as one of hypothesis generation and testing. Yet descriptions of the clinical problem solver's thinking prior to generation of the first diagnostic hypothesis are lacking. This paper reports a study of this phase in students, house officers and registrars. Theories of pattern recognition are seriously questioned. It is shown that these subjects make immediate active interpretative or evaluative responses to initial items of clinical information elicited. These responses cannot be described as 'diagnostic hypotheses', but are important working interpretations. Implications for teaching are discussed.
