Case-based simulation empowering pediatric residents to communicate about diagnostic uncertainty.

Olson ME, Borman-Shoap E, Mathias K, Barnes TL, Olson APJ. Diagnosis (Berl). 2018;5:243-248.

Uncertainty is common in the diagnostic process due to complexity in clinical scenarios. This study describes a simulation-based educational intervention to develop resident skills in discussing clinical uncertainty with patients and families. The results of the program illustrate the strong potential of simulation as a method to enhance communication skills.
