The ability for physicians and other health professionals to practice high quality care and attain professional satisfaction and meaning in their work has been under continued challenge. These critically important members of our communities experience ongoing threats to their well-being and hence to the quality of care they deliver. The recent pandemic has only exacerbated changes that have occurred over the preceding years in the practice of medicine, exposing even further the fragility of our imperfect health care systems. This podcast explores the many ways that physicians can and do flourish, including a deeper exploration of what it means to work at the frontier of human frailty and suffering, while applying biomedical science and compassionate care to address the complexities of the human condition. It is the hope that this podcast can help support these health professionals and ultimately translate…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:18:43.222306+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532"},"episode":{"title":"Flourishing in Medicine: From Surviving to Thriving Episode 17 From Psychology to Emergency Medicine: Dr. Pat Croskerry on Cognitive Bias and Diagnostic Safety","slug":"flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-episode-17-from-psychology-to-emergency-medicine-dr-pat-croskerry-on-cognitive-bias-and-diagnostic-safety","published_at":"2024-10-18T20:19:27+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-episode-17-from-psychology-to-emergency-medicine-dr-pat-croskerry-on-cognitive-bias-and-diagnostic-safety","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving/1685755","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/240596/1685755/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving/2024_10_18_19_46_31_cf165833-e0b1-44c9-8a0f-db6a9922d430.mp3","summary":"The guest today is Pat Croskerry, MD, PhD, is a professor in emergency medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Trained as an experimental psychologist, Dr. Croskerry went on to become an emergency medicine physician and found himself surprised by the relatively scant amount of attention given to cognitive errors. He has become one of the world's foremost experts in safety in emergency medicine and diagnostic errors. Dr. Croskerry is currently Director of the Critical Thinking Program within the Division of Medical Education, Dalhousie University. His interests lie primarily in clinical decision making, diagnostic failure, and the role of cognitive and affective bias in decision making. Recent work is aimed at cognitive bias mitigation. During this fascinating conversation, Pat shares his unique path to medicine, stemming from a background in psychology that instilled a focus on critical thinking and cognitive biases, and the discipline to study medicine, informed by his brief rowing career during which, as a member of the Canadian National Team he competed in the Olympic Games. He delves into specific biases affecting medical decision-making, such as emotional affective, anchoring, and search satisficing biases, stressing the need to mitigate these biases for accurate diagnoses. Furthermore, he explores the impact of cognitive load and decision fatigue on physician well-being, advocating for a reconsideration of critical thinking's role in modern medical practice to ensure optimal performance and professional satisfaction.
