    AbstractDiagnostic schemas are frameworks that depict organized clinical knowledge and serve as a bridge between problem representation and differential diagnosis generation. Schema-based problem solving is increasingly used among clinician educators and is widely featured in digital media. We examine the origins of schemas and their theoretical background, review existing literature on their applications in medicine, and explore their utility for learners and teachers.© 2022.
