Medical professions associated with time pressured environments, incorporate apprenticeship as part of training. While our understanding of decision making has moved towards examining these environments, how does this knowledge apply to instruction in these contexts? / Specific reasoning strategies identified by Patel are useful in assessing medical instruction. Rasmussen's guidelines and Patel's protocol analytic methods are applied in this thesis to assess two time-pressured environments of a local hospital. In the medical and surgical intensive care unit, resident physician instruction and patient care co-occur withing the context of problem solving and decision making. / Differences between the two environments include a flattened hierarchy of communication, information exchange, and decision making content. Trainees approximated the proportion of directed reasoning strategies used by supervisors. Results are attributed to differences in knowledge-based solution strategy use, and medical domain structure. Implications for design of more guided apprenticeship programs is discussed.
