Abstract in brief

Physicians develop significant knowledge and expertise during training, utilizing both intuitive heuristics (System 1) and logical reasoning (System 2) in decision making.
As physicians gain clinical experience, it can lead to quick pattern recognition but also introduce biases and knowledge gaps, which highlights the importance of ongoing training and study.
Evidence suggests that as physicians age and gain more experience, their medical knowledge and patient care quality might decline, partly due to cognitive factors and challenges in updating their skills with evolving standards of care.]
