That almost mystical “sixth sense” we develop in practice - that’s exactly what this episode is about. Our guest is Dr Annie Wayne - a criticalist, educator, and learning strategist—who’s been exploring naturalistic decision making : the cognitive model that explains how experts think in real-time, and how to pass that intuition on. We talk about what separates expert intuition from novice reasoning, how to break down unconscious diagnostic processes, and how the right kind of mentorship can accelerate the path to expertise . Annie also shares her research on parenting and vet careers, challenging the stigma around pregnancy and parenthood during training. Here’s what you’ll learn: What “naturalistic decision making” really means (and why it feels like a sixth sense) How experienced vets spot subtle signs that others miss How to externalise your gut feeling so younger vets can learn from it Real-world strategies for mentorship and better clinical teaching How to avoid the traps of lazy “shortcut” thinking How this framework builds confidence and reduces stress in new grads Annie’s personal take on parenting through training—and how to smash the stigma around pregnancy in vet careers This isn’t just about clinical decision-making - it’s about how we teach, how we lead, and how we support each other in a demanding profession.
