Beyond the white coat: propaedeutics as the axis of clinical thinking in Mexico

Resumen

Throughout medical training in Mexico, from
the earliest years of undergraduate
education, we are taught the foundational
principles necessary to aspire to clinical
training. In this process, medical
propedeutics occupies a fundamentally
structural role: a focused medical interview
aimed at gathering relevant information, a
physical examination directed toward
identifying signs, and finally, the integration
of these findings through clinical reasoning
that is refined with practice.
