The session, titled “Critical Thinking in Emergency Medicine,” focused on developing analytical and adaptive thinking skills essential for future doctors, particularly in high-pressure emergency settings.
Drawing on his extensive experience, Dr. Debuc adopted an interactive, case-based teaching approach that encouraged students to actively engage, ask questions, and reflect on real-life clinical scenarios. Through this process, they were guided to develop their own clinical reasoning while recognizing the complexity and individuality of each patient.
The session emphasized the role of critical thinking in emergency medicine, equipping students and young doctors to make sound decisions, prioritize effectively, and deliver patient-centered care in high-pressure situations.
It was met with enthusiastic participation, reflecting students’ strong interest in a more dynamic and practice-oriented approach to medical learning.
