Embracing uncertainty in pharmacy student clinical reasoning: A simulation-based approach
Structured exposure to uncertainty reinforced that sound clinical reasoning can coexist with unpredictable outcomes. When discomfort arose, students were able to rationalize why their initial clinical reasoning and decision-making remained valid, reinforcing the concept that uncertainty and negative outcomes do not necessarily indicate flawed decision making.
