Thinking on Your Feet Well: Building Adaptive Expertise in Learners Using Simulation

On this episode of the Academic Medicine Podcast, Sam Clarke, MD, MAS, and Jon Ilgen, MD, PhD, join host Toni Gallo to discuss the importance of teaching adaptive expertise to prepare learners for the types of complex cases they will encounter in clinical practice. This conversation also covers what adaptive expertise is, how simulation can be used to foster this skill in learners, and the complementary relationship between performance-oriented cases and adaptive cases in health professions education. This episode is now available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else podcasts are available. A transcript is below. Read the article discussed in this episode: Clarke SO, Ilgen JS, Regehr G. Fostering adaptive expertise through simulation [published online ahead of print April 21, 2023]. Acad Med. DOI: 10.1097/ACM.0000000000005257. Transcript Toni Gallo:Welcome to the Academic Medicine Podcast. I’m Toni Gallo. I’m joined by Drs. Sam Clarke and Jon Ilgen, who are the authors of a paper entitled “Fostering Adaptive Expertise Through Simulation.” And that’s available now to read for free on academicmedicine.org. In their paper, Sam and Jon and their third coauthor, Dr. Glenn Regehr, suggest a different approach to simulation that really aims to build adaptive expertise in learners. And this model gives learners opportunities to practice and receive feedback on the types of complex problems that they’re l...
