Assessment of an emergency physician (EP)'s diagnostic reasoning skills is essential for effective training and patient safety. This article summarizes the findings of the diagnostic reasoning assessment track of the 2012 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference "Education Research in Emergency Medicine: Opportunities, Challenges, and Strategies for Success." Existing theories of diagnostic reasoning, as they relate to emergency medicine (EM), are outlined. Existing strategies for the assessment of diagnostic reasoning are described. Based on a review of the literature, expert thematic analysis, and iterative consensus agreement during the conference, this article summarizes current assessment gaps and prioritizes future research questions concerning the assessment of diagnostic reasoning in EM.

Objectives: Published clinical reasoning curricula are limited, and measuring curricular impact has proven difficult. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a broad-reaching, multi-level reasoning curricula by measuring utilization of clinical reasoning terminology in published abstracts.
Methods: In 2014, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) created a clinical reasoning curriculum with interventions at the student, resident, and faculty levels with the goal of bringing reasoning education to the forefront.

In the modern medical education system, teaching of clinical neurology in outpatient settings is crucial for training future neurologists. The neurology outpatient clinic is a pivotal setting for both initial consultations and follow-up visits. It plays a significant role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing monitoring of neurological disorders, and is a critical platform for clinical education.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Different subtypes of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are shown to have differential patterns of tau deposition on the cerebral cortex. However, for cognitively unimpaired elders the spatial specificity of tau deposition has not been fully investigated.
Objective: We aim to show that tau deposition in different brain regions is uniquely associated with performance in different cognitive domains.
Background: Early detection and personalized care for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mitigate the devastating consequences for millions of people around the globe. In the current scenario, there is a lack of user-friendly AI applications for predicting and understanding the progression of AD. The application should address the critical need for a predictive analytics tool that offers timely and transparent insights by utilizing the patient data.

Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: PET quantifies tau and amyloid-ß (Aß) pathology in preclinical AD. A 2-min digital clock-drawing test (DCTclock ) captures clock-drawing outcomes and processes, potentially more sensitive to cognitive deficits in preclinical AD than pencil-and-paper tests. The DCTclock summary score comprised subscores targeting multi-domain cognitive performance (i.
