#UncleBob has a #MedEd tip, perhaps worth #5goodminutes - not a new thought, but one that we sometimes forget. It comes from a story.
Thursday night @rabihmgeha @DxRxEdu and I "recorded" a podcast, but the recording did not properly process (I probably made some rookie error.

So the Magician and the Mathematician kindly agreed to rerecord yesterday. Properly recorded, we did a quick post-mortem on the second recording. Clearly, we all did a better job on the second recording, because we all personally critiqued our performance from the first.

All successful performers, be they athletes, musicians, actors or medical speakers, learn to self critique. They are never satisfied, and always strive to improve. They get and accept constructive criticism.

Even after 40 years of giving talks, I need colleagues to provide me with ideas about slides, the order of presentation, etc. So disregard Allen Iverson's famous quote. Practice is important.
This pertains to lectures, chalk talks, morning report. Self-evaluate to improve.

Thanks @rabihmgeha & @DxRxEdu for sharing this discussion with me yesterday and for willingly rerecording a podcast when I screwed up the recording. Tip: find a colleague who will give you constructive criticism in return for you giving them the same. You will both grow faster
