Resumo
Acquisition of clinical skills is of upmost importance for health sciences professionals, and a guarantee that safe and effective patient care will be provided.
Clinical competencies may encompass a series of skills that are introduced through graduation and developed during professional activity, namely the technical skills, communication skills, clinical reasoning and reflexion in daily practice. Therefore, clinical competence is not a static skill, but it grows with
practice and is lifelong learning. Case-based learning is frequently used to enhance
learning in clinical reasoning and judgment for rational decision-making, competencies that are also associated to critical thinking. To be effective, casebased activities need to be structured, the learning objectives adjusted to each situation and students sought to be guided throughout the activity, so that they
are actively engaged in the learning process bridging learning to professional
environments. In this paper the authors present a model for a case-based activity aiming to enhance clinical competency in health science students. Framed
by the application of the FRISCO guidelines adapted in previous work, the authors illustrate, by an example, how, in the proposed activity, congruence may be achieved among intended learning, instructional activities, and assessment methods while teaching diagnostic reasoning to health sciences students.
