Meyer AND, Payne VL, Meeks DW, et al. Physicians' diagnostic accuracy, confidence, and resource requests: a vignette study. JAMA Intern Med. 2013;173(21):1952-1958. doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2013.10081.
Physicians generally overestimated their ability to diagnose both straightforward and complex cases in this simulated study. Overconfidence has been previously identified as a significant contributor to diagnostic error.
