How postgraduate medical trainees conceptualise management reasoning: A qualitative study
Postgraduate trainees viewed MR as a dynamic, complex and flexible process. This study adds to the empirical literature on MR by confirming its patient-centred and context-dependent nature while introducing novel insights from the trainee perspective, especially the centrality of uncertainty and risk. Understanding how trainees conceptualise MR can help educators make MR more visible in clinical practice.
