On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Chris Watling and Mike Allan (the CEOs of Canada's two national medical colleges) to unpack the hidden curriculum in medicine. Together, they explore how subtle signals in our learning and working environments shape identity, influence career pathways, and reinforce hierarchies both between and within disciplines. From the loss of shared spaces like physician lounges, to structural pressures such as competition for residents and fragmented training pathways, to the powerful role of public narratives, the conversation examines how these forces quietly sculpt our professional culture. Chris and Mike reflect on their own professional experiences, the impacts felt by learners in both family and specialty practice, and what it might take to move toward a more respectful, connected, and collaborative medical community.   Length of Episode: 38:11   Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca             Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski         

Dans cet épisode de KeyLIME+, Adam s'entretient avec le Dr Bernard Charlin à propos de la théorie de la concordance de script, une approche permettant de comprendre et d'évaluer le raisonnement clinique dans des contextes médicaux incertains et complexes. Ils explorent comment le test de concordance de script saisit certaines des nuances de la prise de décision en situation réelle en analysant la manière dont les cliniciens ajustent leur réflexion face à de nouvelles informations. Ils approfondissent également comment cette approche va au-delà de l'évaluation pour devenir un puissant outil d'apprentissage, offrant une rétroaction personnalisée qui remet en question les hypothèses et aiguise le jugement clinique. Bernard partage aussi ses réflexions sur l'impact étendu de ce test dans différentes spécialités ainsi que sur la manière dont les technologies émergentes, comme l'intelligence artificielle, pourraient en façonner l'avenir.   Episode Length: 32:29   Resources to check out:  Hudon A, Phan V, Charlin B, Wittmer R.

On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Drs. Victor Do and Cory Rohlfsen, both medical educators and former competitive athletes, to explore how lessons from high-performance sports coaching can inform feedback and coaching in medical education. Victor and Cory share firsthand insights about the culture of feedback in sports, where direct, real-time, and goal-oriented coaching is not only expected but embraced. They contrast this with the challenges faced in medical education, where feedback can sometimes feel less immediate, less authentic, and complicated by multiple competing factors. Together, they discuss the crucial role of trust, shared goals, and direct observation in making feedback meaningful and how these elements might be better integrated into medical education to support learner growth and ultimately improve patient care.  Length of episode:  47:17  Resources to check: Learning culture and feedback: an international study of medical athletes and musicians https://asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/medu.12407    Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca      Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski

Romans 8 hits different when you realize what's on the table:Because of Christ, you're not just “forgiven”—you've been adopted. You can cry “Abba, Father”… not with cheesy casualness, but with bold intimacy and holy reverence.And when doubts creep in, assurance isn't finally built on vibes or self-checklists. The Holy Spirit bears witness that we belong to God—and He does it through the Word, never against it.Then Paul stares straight at the pain of the world: evil, suffering, the “where is God?” questions. The missing piece is sin… and the loudest answer is the cross.Yes, the suffering is real. But it's temporary. Future glory is so massive Paul says it's not even comparable.And it's not just us—creation itself is groaning, waiting, longing for the day God finishes what He started.Hope isn't a crutch. It's oxygen.

Lots of people have been asking me the same 3 questions.QUESTION ONE: “Who were your mentors?”Mentor is a word I never use. It smells of apprenticeship, that wafting, submissive aroma that arises from a servant who adores his master. By this definition, I have never had a mentor, but I do have many heroes I study from a distance, and I have a lot of friends who have spoken valuable things into my life.QUESTION TWO: “What is your writing method?”1. I descend into the depths of the client/character in whose voice I will be writing. This takes awhile.2. When I have lost contact with my surroundings and found that character and become that character, I write what that character would say. I do this in the middle of the night because there are fewer interruptions.3. When the character is finished talking, I ascend from the deep waters into the air and sunlight of my surroundings, walk into the kitchen, make a cup of hot tea, and add the juice of a Key Lime. This little ritual helps me find myself. Then I look at the digital clock on the microwave to find out how long I have been away, because time does not exist in that alternate realm.Sometimes, when Pennie is visiting her sisters, I will awaken in the wintertime post-midnight darkness, work for awhile, rise to make tea, and notice that it is not yet light. But when I finally realize it is the darkness of evening, not morning, and that an entire day has disappeared while I was underwater, I have to reorient my mind.QUESTION THREE: “Is your health okay?”“Are you pulling back? Are you stepping away from Wizard Academy and the Wizard of Ads partners? Your recent Monday Morning Memos make me feel like you are preparing to say goodbye.”I fear you have me confused with Mentor R. Williams.Mentor Ralph Williams (yes, Mentor was his first name) wrote “Drift Away,” one of the gold record hits of the 70's. Dobie Gray sang it to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1973.“Day after day I'm more confused, yet I look for the light through the pouring rain. You know that's a game that I hate to lose. And I'm feeling the strain. Ain't it a shame.”“Beginning to think that I'm wasting time. I don't understand the things I do. The world outside looks so unkind. And I'm counting on you to carry me through.”When you read these next words, you will likely hear Dobie Gray's voice in your mind:“Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul, I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.”This is not my day to be Dobie Gray. I am not feeling blue and I am not preparing to die. But I do appreciate your concern. Thank you for caring.A few weeks ago I wrote, “The important is rarely urgent, and the urgent is rarely important. Do not become a slave to the merely urgent.”I'm sure I will shift gears at some point and shoot off in a new direction, but right now I am writing about things that are important, rather than merely urgent. I hope to speak valuable things into your life, just as other people have spoken into mine.But first we need to make a deal, okay?The agreement I need from you is this: If you promise not to think I am feeling blue, stepping back, or preparing to die, I will share some of the valuable things that people have spoken into my life. I will tell you what they said, when they said it, and how I found value in their words.Does that sound okay to you? If so, raise your hand.I saw that hand, even though you raised it only in your mind.Indy says Aroo, and I do,...

When was the last time you, dear KeyLIME listener, was observed performing a clinical task by someone who had some kind of power over your career? Was it a colleague as part of a simulation? An administrative leader? Was it at a conference? Was it a mandatory peer review? Was it comfortable for you? Did you change what you would normally do in that situation? Jason's choice this week explores that kind of experience, namely: the lived experience of physicians who have had direct observation while performing clinical tasks.  Authors: LaDonna K, Hatala R, Lingard L, Voyer S, Watling C.
