Description
Abstract
The increasing complexity of clinical decision-making in evidence-based medicine (EBM)highlights the need for probabilistic reasoning. Bayesian theory provides a structured framework tointegrate prior knowledge with new evidence, yet its use in medical education remains limited. Thispaper argues that incorporating Bayesian approaches improves diagnostic accuracy and reducesreliance on heuristic judgments. Educational strategies such as case-based learning help bridgetheory and practice, while Bayesian methods strengthen the link between research and clinicaldecision-making. Despite challenges such as perceived complexity and variability in estimating pre-test probabilities, these barriers reflect gaps in pedagogy. We conclude that Bayesian reasoning should be integrated as a core component of medical training to better address clinical uncertainty
