NCT02994004

Brief Summary

Hospital physicians are increasingly facing budgetary constraints that might have an impact on individual medical decisions (i.e. diagnostic or therapeutic decisions). This might translate into role conflict and ambiguity. We explore the medical decision-makingprocess of physicians usingfunctional MRI. Twenty hospital physicians will be asked to make simulated medical decisions during fMRI acquisitions, with and without explicit budgetary constraints. We will compare the fMRI data between the 2 modalities.
