INSIGHT

Hidden Judgments During Training

  • Training new clinicians often involves silently judging their pace against your internal standard.
  • That comparison forgets how much you once lacked and skews assessment of learners.
INSIGHT

Slowness Often Hides Overload

  • Apparent inability to learn often reflects missing fundamentals or overwhelmed cognition, not lack of intelligence.
  • People can seem "slow" because basic tasks still consume their mental bandwidth.
ADVICE

Free Cognitive Bandwidth First

  • Recognize trainees juggle system navigation, professionalism, and anxiety while learning clinical content.
  • Reduce extraneous burdens and scaffold basics so they free bandwidth to learn core skills.
