Diagnostic reasoning occurs through pattern recognition and the use of heuristics. The use of a cognitive autopsy can be a powerful way to learn from diagnostic errors after mistakes are made. In this episode, we explore how residents and fellows can be leaders through diagnostic reasoning and deconstruct how clinicians make decisions. We learn how expert clinicians are able to appreciate that biases exist in the heuristics we use to make decisions and acknowledge the conditions that make us susceptible.  Faculty: Gurpreet Dhaliwal, MD Resident: Anna Fretz, MD

Giving effective feedback is a skill that everyone values in health care education yet one that is incredibly difficult to master. Some educators are shifting how we think about Feedback with a capital “F” to a less loaded idea of feedback as a quick conversation in everyday practice to help learners recognize what they do well and where their growth edges are. In this episode, we learn how to take the fear out of feedback and instead think of it as a brief, focused, coaching conversation. Faculty: Sandrijn van Shaik, MD Resident: Sean Jenvay, MD
