Terms of use

The service

The Clinical Reasoning is an educational clinical case simulator run by Riccardo Binco. It is for practising diagnostic reasoning: interviewing a virtual patient, physical examination, laboratory and imaging tests, diagnosis and feedback on the path taken.

For education only

The cases are fictional, simplified and not clinically validated. The service gives no medical advice and does not replace training, guidelines or professional judgement. See also the Disclaimer.
