• Passion for Learning
(Rather than past accomplishments)

What did you learn today?
• Present skills as learnable
What mistake did you make that taught you something?
• Give feedback in a way that promotes learning and future success
What did you try hard at today?
• Convey that we value learning and perseverance, not just natural-born talent

What does it take to win your approval?
Do you believe “good residents” should just “act good?”
• Changing from a “judge and be judged” to a “learn and help learn framework”
How do you praise or criticize your learner?
• What do you say or do when they make a mistake or when something goes wrong?
Giving Feedback
Assess whether resident is in a fixed or growth mindset
Give corrective feedback
Acknowledge we all make mistakes as we learn, the key is to use them to improve
How can we use this as a learning opportunity?
