10: #10 Holding a Growth Mindset in Medical Education with Dr. Nora Osman
Summary
Listen as our esteemed guest Dr Nora Osman discusses how a growth mindset is valuable to teachers and learners in medical education. If we hold a fixed mindset, feedback and failures don’t hold the nutritive potential they can as when we conceptualize them with a growth mindset. We have to think deeply about how we can change the culture and structure of medical education to foster a growth mindset–one-off trainings are not the answer.
