We would like to invite you to the 2018 Workshop on Clinical Decision Making, organized by the University of Goettingen together with the COGITA research network, May 17th -18th. The theme of the workshop is “Unraveling the Clinical Process”.
The workshop brings together practitioners and researchers from medicine and psychology who are interested in the psychological processes underlying clinical reasoning and decision making. This includes research on the role of intuition and gut feelings in decision making, the interplay of deliberate and intuitive processes in diagnostic reasoning, the impact of causal reasoning on treatment planning, and many more exciting topics.
The COGITA European network of GPs, some hospital specialists, nurses, psychologists and a linguistic specialist was established in 2008. It aims to stimulate and coordinate studies about the role of gut feelings in the diagnostic reasoning process and have yearly meetings. (www.gutfeelingsingeneralpractice.eu). The Clinical Decision Making workshop has been a yearly event for more than 10 years. It is organized by researchers on clinical decision making at various European universities.
On May 17th, Thursday, the CDM-workshop and the COGITA group will have separate meetings in the morning. Thursday afternoon and Friday May 18th we will have a joint conference. Invited and confirmed keynote speakers are Professor Nancy Kim from Northeastern University, Boston USA, (https://cos.northeastern.edu/faculty/nancy-kim/ ) and Professor Wolfgang Gaissmaier from Konstanz University, Germany (https://www.spds.uni-konstanz.de/prof-dr-wolfgang-gaissmaier ).
