Good QuestionsClearBrief (one question at a time)Single focusDivergent (allow more than one acceptable
answer and broad thinking)Open-ended (short answers are insufficient)

A patient presents for review of their diabetes. Question your resident
about the patient they have seen at each “level of questioning”

ask a higher level question for:Abdominal PainAsthmaChest painFatigueDepression

Adult LearnersWe learn more from what we “don’t know” than what we “do know”
Problem based learning is most effective.

ReadinessIs the learner at the appropriate level for the questions being asked?
Are there other issues involved which interfere with the residents performance?

Questioning a groupPose, pause and pounceSpread the questions aroundNo answer is “stupid”Allow silenceExpect the unexpected Be aware of different levels of learners

You’re with a 2nd year resident, a 4th year med student and a first year med student.
After seeing an older man with increasing shortness of breath and a long history of smoking,How would you question the group?Who would you ask firstGive an example of the questions you might
ask each learner.

An excellent answer:
I don’t know
![Page 17: Promoting higher order thinking and reasoning University of BC Faculty of Medicine Department of Family Practice Post Graduate Program](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41d6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RememberEffective questioning allows your residents to
mature in their clinical skills and understanding. Higher level questions require greater thought and reflection and move the resident closer to their goal of being an independent effective clinician.
