title: Learning to make better clinical decisions.
abstract: To achieve the optimum patient outcome one must be able to choose the most appropriate course of action. How this choice is made may not be actively contemplated, and there may be many unrecognized pitfalls for the unwary. An increased awareness of how we think should increase both the efficiency and success of clinical decision making.
