The process of clinical reasoning may seem opaque and even mysterious to beginning students. Experienced clinicians often think quickly, with little overt or conscious effort. They differ widely in personal style, communication skills, clinical training, experience, and expertise. Some clinicians may find it difficult to explain the logic behind their clinical thinking. As you gain experience, your clinical reasoning will begin at the outset of the patient encounter, not at the end. Reflect on the clinical reasoning you used during this virtual patient encounter. Describe the steps taken to identify and interpret the key findings in this case.  What are some “lessons learned” within the assessment that you can apply to your professional practice as a provider?
