Abstract

Abstract : Behavioral science, the scientific study of human behavior and the elucidation of its laws, is also applied to medicine, and is included in pre‐graduate education.Understanding patient behaviors that correspond to behavior‐based medical diagnosis and interpreting the clinical information suggested by these patient behaviors can be useful in avoiding diagnostic errors in clinical practice.
