Begin with the end in mind

A letter to junior doctors:
The purpose of learning is action and action is orientated towards a particular goal / outcome. We act to effect.
In medicine we act to determine cause or prognosis or monitor progression or we act to prevent, treat, mitigate or palliate.
It helps enormously to begin with the end in mind.
