    This article describes observations made in the AOTA clinical reasoning study, which is an ethnographic study of 14 occupational therapists working in a large teaching hospital. Concepts that frequently appeared in the literature of clinical reasoning in medicine are discussed and compared and contrasted. Observations and interpretations of the practice and clinical reasoning strategies of the occupational therapist participants in this study are described. Similarities in the reasoning strategies of medical professionals and occupational therapists are attributed to the use of the scientific reasoning model and differences are attributed to the particular focus, goals, and tasks of the two professions.
