This Cohort Study by @Michael_Detsky et al revealed that physicians often failed to document the goals/priorities of their pts when making treatment recs. Lots of room to improve in documenting #CodeStatus discussions and recommendations. Read in #JGIM: buff.ly/dZKnGme

Great presentation "Tensions and Tightropes" on the impact of gender and generational identity on perceptions of professionalism at #ICRE2024 @IMWendyYe @sginsburg1 Key themes: (1) Weaponization of professionalism, (2) professionalism as a "performance" @UofT_DoM @ICREConf

I love hearing great research from students and residents at #ICRE2024 . Here’s Valerie Kim presenting work on how learners think about “service” and “education”. Perceptions are dynamic and depend on context.

Loved reading this paper by @sarah_blissett and co today- onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… thinking lots about how we can apply in settings with more junior trainees/less autonomy/high complexity. How to optimize the zone of proximal development? How can we build in cognitive rest?

A great read. As assessment programmes for both residents and clerks are heavily (in some cases, up to 50%) relying on near-peer assessments (R2s/3s not even 3/4s) we should be carefully considering the dynamics at play
We found that near-peers struggled to determine the best time to give #feedback, trying to balance emotions (theirs and others'), patient factors and recipient's apparent readiness. Asynchronous/delayed FB is sometimes better @ChrisWatling3 @AlyssaLip

Get ready to challenge your assumptions about what time is the right time for resident feedback. New research from @ChrisWatling @sginsburg1 pmejournal.org/articles/10.5…
