About the Presentation: How can supervision and workplace-based learning support the development of novices’ adaptive practices?
Lifelong learning is a crucial aspect of junior doctors’ transition into the workplace. As a result, preparation for future learning has become a significant topic in Medical Education in recent years. In this context, the concept of Adaptive Expertise has gained traction. This concept describes how we apply our knowledge and what we can do when faced with new and unfamiliar situations, which are common during transitions. This talk will aim to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of Adaptive Expertise. Additionally, it will explore how workplace-based learning can promote adaptive practices that prepare physicians to effectively handle new situations and knowledge.
