This study examined how medical tutors used a tool from clinical practice known as the patient problem list to support students' clinical reasoning in a natural internal medicine ward setting. A grounded 2 case comparative study was conducted with 2 real patient case discussions by a tutor and 3 pre-clerkship students and a resident and 1 clerkship level student respectively. Codes that emerged by verbal analysis of the data were related to each other in a discourse map. In both cases evidence of cognitive apprenticeship teaching strategies and the patient problem list shaped and were shaped by a spiral model of increasingly elaborate shared knowledge. The patient problem list links tutor support to student education for practice with complex medical patients.
