Accepting the Risks in Creating Confident Doctors-New York Times
Written by a psychiatrist from Cornell, this articles discusses the waning confidence of recent graduates from residency training programs. Worth a read.
From the article:
She is hardly alone, of course. I have received more phone calls from recent graduates in the past several years than I can ever recall. While I can’t pretend this is a representative survey, many of my colleagues have noticed the same trend. And the questions, like my resident’s, are basic ones: when a patient should be hospitalized, how far to push a medication.
Also, more graduates are reaching out to me to ask for extra supervision. Almost always, they “know” what they are doing, but don’t feel confident about it.
Not directly about acute pain management. However, with APM as a relatively new fellowship training program, I think the topics in this article are worthy of our consideration.
For discussion, how comfortable do our residents and fellows feel following their training? Do you foresee yourself contacting your former attendings for consulting advice? If so, is this good or bad for patient care?
