Il utilise de nouvelles approches, comme l’outil Louis et ses 14 catégories qui permet d’avoir <b>une vision globale rapide et logique</b> de la situation clinique à analyser.Cette démarche, développée tout au long des <b>7 parties</b> qui constituent l’ouvrage, permet d’aborder de manière imagée et didactique les bases fondamentales à acquérir dans le domaine du raisonnement clinique.C’est donc <b>un ouvrage de référence à la fois attractif et accessible</b> qui permettra au débutant une entrée en matière plus sereine et à l’étudiant confirmé de disposer d’un <b>outil pratique</b>.F... et tuteurs de stages pourront également y trouver des idées pour concevoir des séquences pédagogiques plus attrayantes.
