About

Nathalie Caire Fon serves as Assistant Professor in the Emergency and Family Medicine Department at Université de Montréal while practicing as a family physician at the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal. Her research focuses on advancing understanding of physicians' clinical reasoning processes, particularly through modeling typified objects and investigating reasoning difficulties. She has pioneered the use of mind mapping techniques to enhance the organization of clinical knowledge, contributing significantly to medical education methodology. As Scientific Director, she has developed innovative approaches to teaching clinical reasoning, helping medical students and practitioners better understand and apply complex decision-making processes in healthcare settings. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in clinical settings, particularly in managing chronic and multimorbid conditions. Her contributions to medical education include developing interventions for students with academic difficulties and creating accessible learning tools for complex clinical reasoning processes.
