Diagnostic excellence is much more than being well-trained and having extensive knowledge. This presentation will walk the audience though the process required to assist in diagnostic excellence, a skill set centered around four steps that require not only sound thinking but also a critical awareness of how you as an individual clinician think: metacognition. Case examples, specific disease entities, and metrics will be used to support these steps and six domains of the diagnostic process
