Bayesian Reasoning
Online Course in Advanced Bedside Decision-Making

The world is not black and white.
Neither are diagnostic tests.
Learn how to make the most of them!

  • How should I interpret mild d-dimer elevation? Should I obtain CT scans for everyone with a d-dimer elevation? How do I know when the test result is slightly versus highly abnormal?

  • All positive tests are not created equal. How can I objectively tell whether an elevated test result is merely suggestive or virtually diagnostic?

  • Is it true that I cannot use B-type natriuretic (BNP) peptide for patients with high body-mass index? What if the BNP is really low?

  • How do I know whether a normal test rules out disease? Are there different degrees of normal as well? (hint: Yes, there are!)

This online patient case-based course, packed with effective visuals, interactive quizzes, peer comparison and much more, is designed to help you find the answers to these and many more questions. In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Use the evidence to formulate disease probabilities for your patients

  • Understand how specific test results (beyond the “positives” and “negatives”) change the disease probabilities

  • Merge the pre-test probabilities with new diagnostic information to make evidence-informed medical decisions for your patients

  • Learn about the advanced concepts such the receiver operating characteristic curves and multi-level likelihood ratios and understand how they can be leveraged to achieve diagnostic excellence

  • Master diagnostic reasoning and apply it to the bedside decision-making

  • "The cases were very true to life, and scenarios I've definitely been in multiple times."

    Hospital Medicine Faculty Member
    University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus

  • "The course content was great. It felt very evidence-based, and, honestly, has been like clinically useful to me outside of just learning about Bayesian reasoning. I think it just gave me a better framework for how to approach particular problems... I honestly found it very interesting and a little bit like a good book where you kind of get into it."
