摘要
Introduction: For all clinical providers in healthcare, decision-making is a critical feature of everything they do. Every day physicians engage in clinical decision-making where knowledge, evidence, experience, and interpretation of clinical data are used to produce decisions, yet, it is fair to say that most do not have an explicit insight or understanding of this complex process. In particular, few will have training in teaching and assessing the cognitive and affective factors that underlie clinical decision-making. Methods: To foster an increased awareness and understanding of these factors, the Dalhousie Critical Thinking Program was established with the mandate to develop and deliver curriculum for critical thinking in the 4-year undergraduate program. To assist teaching faculty with the goal and objectives of the program, the Teaching and Assessing Critical Thinking Program (TACT) was introduced. Results: Using the dual process model as a platform for decision-making, this program introduces general principles of critical thinking and provides tools to teach learners how to strengthen their critical thinking skills. To offer flexible learning, an online approach was chosen for delivery of the program. Conclusion: To date, we have offered eleven iterations of Part 1 to a total of 261 participants and six iterations of Part 2 to a total of 89 participants. Evaluations show the online approach to content delivery was well received and the content to be of practical use.
