We’re joined by Walter Eppich to talk about how learning happens in conversations. Specifically, Walter discusses how he watched a surprisingly successful call by a junior doctor that brought a surgeon running from the OR down to the ED to see their patient. Doctors in the early stages of their career tend to ramble when giving reports—including every piece of information that they know in the hopes of including something relevant. How do we learn to communicate with other healthcare professionals in a way that makes your current problem their most important problem? Why do we have every junior doctor go through phone call failure rather than explicitly teaching the structure of talk that we know works, and that they’ll be steered towards by explicit feedback in the calls?
