But in the end of their training, it is the acceptance of mistakes, learning from it and moving on that is the greatest "lesson" we can give to them.Bonedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316058152682270816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760873683081651675.post-12720213420165452802008-01-29T21:49:00.000-06:002008-01-29T21:49:00.000-06:00A perfect time for this post!

All of my residents and attendings are very excited about teaching at every opportunity possible, and I am like a sponge and loving it. <BR/><BR/>On the downside, I've never been more anxious in my entire life...it is very odd, and sometimes interferes with my ability to be myself. There is a persistent voice in the back of my head that I'm still not good enough, like what if they think how the hell did we end up with this guy? What if they regret their decision, or do they already? Might anyone have some words of wisdom?<BR/><BR/>I've got nothing but good feedback so far and am getting along great with everyone, probably just need to be willing to accept my own success and "let it shine".<BR/><BR/>...in other words, how can I "read between the lines" of good feedback to learn what people really think of me? <BR/><BR/>sorry for the long comment. I think your pledge to make your objective clear is an excellent idea, and urge you to give them feedback that isn't general but specific. The type that gives them some idea of where they stand compared with your expectations of where they should be would be greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
