Guided Micro-Rounds — Think Through a Case

Guided Micro-Rounds

One learning problem. Three useful moves: Understand, Apply, Review.

Follow a short path through existing DDQX articles and interactive teaching. This guide does not ask for an account, score your responses, save progress, or require an email address. The three core learning steps open in new tabs so you can return to this guide.

FEATURED ROUND · CLINICAL REASONING

From clinical clue to defensible decision

Use a clinical vignette to practice organizing evidence before choosing, then examine how you arrived at the answer. The original cardiology demonstration is an educational example, not a scored or validated assessment.

01 · UNDERSTAND

Read for what matters

Read the article on clinical vignettes. Practice forming a one-sentence problem representation before looking at options.

Open “Reading Clinical Vignettes Like a Physician” (new tab)

02 · APPLY

Work a real teaching example

Try the original cardiovascular reasoning case. Record your prediction before revealing feedback for any option.

Open the interactive CPR cardiology example (new tab)

03 · REVIEW

Perform a Post-Mortem

Read the error-review guide. Identify whether your difficulty came from Prioritize, Paraphrase, Prognose, Pick, or Post-Mortem.

Open the 5P Post-Mortem guide (new tab)

After the round: a three-question check
  1. What were the most decisive findings, and which details were merely supporting information?
  2. What did you predict before viewing the options, and what did the explanation change?
  3. What single feature could change your answer in a similar future question?

These prompts are for private self-reflection. DDQX does not collect your answers on this page.

Prefer an MCAT science path?

The existing MCAT library includes the four-lesson path “From a rate curve to a mechanism,” connecting enzyme kinetics, catalysis, experimental controls, and normalized data. Open the path overview, then follow its lessons in order.
