Abstract
This paper describes the rationale and process for designing a learning environment, using causal modelling theory in order to model the reasoning required by physicians-in-training to diagnose problems in haematology and transfusion medicine. The causal model includes information gathering, diagnosis, and defence of diagnosis at the initial, aetiology, and differential diagnosis stages.Keywords
