In our book, we dedicate several chapters to discussing the differences in training between physicians and non-physician practitioners. One of the most important elements of physician training is learning how to create a differential diagnosis, which is a list of all the possible causes of a patient’s symptoms. Today we are joined by Dr. Mercy Hylton, a pediatric emergency medicine physician and who is also an author and a patient advocate, to discuss why physician training – including learning how to properly create a differential diagnosis – is so important.
