This community meeting is dedicated to improving healthcare diagnosis.

Proceedings:

• Present and discuss research advances and ongoing studies through both open discussions and presentations of oral abstracts and posters.

• Includes sessions focused on measurement and assessment of progress in improving diagnosics.

• Includes designated sessions to present advances in clinical reasoning, how to teach these skills and how to optimize clinical reasoning in practice, designed with medical educators in mind.

A highlight throughout will be considerations of how AI, ‘the new kid on the block’ can be used to promote diagnostic excellence in research, education, and practice.
