Abstract: Clinical reasoning is the cornerstone of effective medical practice and is critical for accurate diagnosis, patient management, and the provision of optimal health care. This article provides an overview of strategies and interventions used to develop and enhance clinical reasoning skills in medical learners. The acquisition of clinical reasoning skills is a complex process that involves both the acquisition of knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge to evaluate real-world patient scenarios. This article is based on the latest literature on educational methods, teaching methods, and assessment techniques and aims to improve the competence of medical students and residents in these skills. Discussion included innovative course design, integration of problem-based learning, use of case-based simulations, and the importance of early exposure to clinical settings. Emphasizes the critical role of feedback, reflection, and metacognition in developing clinical reasoning skills. This area of research has its importance in training the future of medical education, including its impact on enhancing patient care and safety. By continually developing and improving clinical reasoning skills, medical learners can provide more accurate diagnoses, make informed treatment decisions, and provide patient-centered care, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
