Keynote: Failure to fail phenomenon: What are we thinking?
Dr. Andrea Gingerich
Sometimes trainees who should have failed were not failed. Sometimes it is because they did not receive failing assessments when they were underperforming. Often preceptors are blamed for being reluctant or unwilling to provide those failing assessments. However, efforts to glean assessment information withheld by preceptors have not been entirely successful. In this presentation we will examine failure to fail phenomenon through the lens of rater cognition to discuss ways in which preceptors might be misbehaving and also how they might be misunderstood.
Closing Panel
Dr. Andrea Gingerich, Dr. Walter Tavares, Dr. Anita Acai
Facilitator: Dr. Sandra Monteiro
