Episode 19 - Juan Lessing and Read Pierce: Teaching More About Less: Preparing Clinicians for Practice Adaptabilia

Chris sat down with Dr. Juan Lessing and Dr. Read Pierce to discuss their new paper, “Teaching More About Less: Preparing Clinicians for Practice.” Juan is an Internal Medicine Physician and Associate Professor at The University of Colorado School of Medicine in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine. Read is an Internal Medicine Physician and the Division Chief for Hospital Medicine at Dell Medical School at UT Austin and an Associate Chair for Faculty Development and Well-being. We dive into a variety of topics including: why they decided to write the paper, the importance of mastering the basics, teaching common conditions with inquiry and excitement, reflections on clinical practice, the value of following up with patients, and much more. We hope you enjoy this discussion.
