National Library Week | Only fools rush in: Managing bias in medicine

There are a number of cognitive biases that impact clinical decision making. These biases impact both novice student doctors and experienced clinicians. In this workshop, you will learn about the most common cognitive biases that impact students and clinicians, and how they can be effectively managed for better patient care.

At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:

• Describe at least one cognitive bias that impacts clinical decision making
• Discuss how a cognitive bias may present differently in students versus experienced clinicians
• Discuss methods to manage cognitive biases in patient care
