The Clinical Reasoning Tool (CRT) is a versatile and nimble instrument designed to integrate the ICF into the clinical decision-making process and provide a user-friendly guide for self-reflection or mentoring discussions and professional development. It has been widely adopted by both students and post-professionals to aid in the more complex facets of clinical reasoning,   This session will review the CRT and its application to a wide variety of interprofessional settings across the continuum of care.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss and review the integration of the ICF as a conceptual framework for clinical decision making.
• Review the use of the Clinical Reasoning Tool (CRT) as a guide to facilitate reflection and effective clinical decision making.
• Demonstrate the use of the Clinical Reasoning Tool (CRT) to help make clinical decisions in various practice settings.
• Discuss strategies on how the CRT is used with students, residents, fellows, and clinicians from around the world and consider how these approaches may be relevant to your own setting.
• Develop strategies to facilitate having clinicians in your setting integrate the CRT into practice to help improve clinical decision making and patient care.
