I’m flying solo for most of this one while Margaret is off saving dolphins (or just finishing a hospital admission ), but I’ve brought in a heavy hitter to help me tackle one of the most awkward parts of medical training: feedback. Paul Tran, the creative force behind Alimentary School, joins me to discuss why the feedback we give and receive in the clinic usually, to put it bluntly, sucks.
We dive into the "Politeness Concept," where supervisors give a quick "good job" just to save face and get out of the room, leaving learners with zero actionable data. Paul introduces the concept of "Wise Feedback", 19 words that can completely change how a student engages with their work, and we break down the "Four T’s" of delivery: Tact, Timing, Intent, and Tone. From the trauma of childhood soccer critiques about our noses to the "glass-shattering" realizations of a former competitive figure skater, this episode is about turning subjective observations into meaningful coaching.
