Abstracts:

Becoming a doctor is a process of navigating a complex and changing array of knowledge, skills, performances and identities. It is not surprising that the educational activities at one stage have little predictive power beyond the end of that stage. So we need to think differently about the relationship between medical education and the healthcare service:

The contextual nature of medical education means that we must focus equally on the educational process and on the health care service itself because being a good doctor is learned in the context of the service, and from the practice and role models observed there.

This workshop draws on published research on managing change specifically in a medical environment. The workshop with guide participants to consider their own contexts and skills and to learn how to use some change management tools such as:

We will consider:

This highly participative workshop is based on research which developed the 10-step model of change management in medicine.

The workshop will be interactive, and will be based on evidence from the literature and from professional practice.

The workshop will include a variety of exercises that participants will be able to use with their own students and trainees.  In addition, participants will be invited to complete the online Diagnostic Thinking Inventory after the meeting, and to have their students and trainees also complete it. This instrument enables people to measure the structure and flexibility of their thinking in relation to making a diagnosis.

The workshop will highlight the importance of the student’s and doctor’s memory, and how to improve access to the knowledge stored there within the clinical interview.

Typical scenarios will be offered that illustrate the challenges of simultaneously conducting a clinical interview, communicating with the patient and making a diagnosis.

The workshop will be practical, but is based on a strong theoretical framework.
