Develop a Clinical Reasoning Framework Across Core Specialties
6–10 weeks
Build a systematic clinical reasoning approach for Step 2 CK's core specialties: internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatry, and preventive medicine. For each specialty, create a framework showing how you approach diagnostic reasoning: chief complaint → differential → key distinguishing features → management. Practice applying this framework to 20 vignettes per specialty.
Proof required
Submit: (a) your clinical reasoning framework document (one page per specialty, minimum six specialties), showing your systematic approach to diagnosis and management for each, and (b) a practice log showing at least 120 vignette questions completed (20 per specialty minimum) with your accuracy rate by specialty. At least one specialty must use NBME or USMLE official sample questions.
What gets checked
Framework is specific and operational — not 'think carefully about the diagnosis' but 'for chest pain: first rule out ACS (ECG + troponin), then consider PE (Wells criteria), then consider aortic dissection (BP asymmetry + widened mediastinum)'
Practice log shows at least 20 questions per specialty with accuracy data
At least one specialty uses official USMLE sample questions rather than only third-party resources
