OMG! I had an awesome #MedEd breakthrough this week.

SOOOO PUMPED!

And guess what? Consider this #spacedlearning because it all loops back to my Monday meeting with one of my #mentors @dan_p_hunt_MD.

Wanna hear about it? You do? Good! 😁

Okay, so one of the agenda items was about my struggles with clinical teaching during #COVID19.

Specifically:

When I can’t bedside round or have the students or whole team go in due to a patient being a #PUI or #COVID19+, it’s limiting my teachable moments.

Waaah.😢

Dan suggested I try this:

1. Bring my mini-whiteboard
2. Assign a question to the students while I go into isolation room with resident or intern.
3. Leave them with the board/marker and allow them to rapid fire search on whatever devices or computers.

Cool right?

When we came out of a room, the rapid fire teachers were ready!

OMG y’all.
BEST. THING. EVER.

Not only did it make good use of that time, it was fun! AND it gave me an excuse to think about the BLOOM TAXONOMY!

*thump*

That was me passing out from nerd joy. 😂🤓

Let’s rewind shall we?

1. I met with my mentor/coach.
2. I had a specific area of concern.
3. He gave suggestions.
4. I acted on one of them.
5. We will meet again to discuss.
6. He will likely start suggesting places to “write it up.”😂
7. That will be a new agenda item.

Y’all! I’m sooo excited.

Again—you’re NEVER too senior or too good at anything to outgrow being mentored/coached.

Nope.

Oh—and shout out to the Team E rock⭐️ @EmoryMedicine students Tyler & Lauren who CRUSHED IT today!

In yo face, #COVID! 👊🏽☺️
