Diagnostic reasoning is a core component of safe care but is not always included in formal educational curricula. In this study, learners, attending physicians, and education leaders shared their experiences learning about or teaching diagnostic reasoning to inform development of a diagnostic reasoning curriculum. Learners and educators highlighted the importance of psychological safety to reporting missed diagnosis or diagnostic uncertainty, integrating the curriculum into existing educational programming, and faculty development on the topic.
