| [49] Developing Judgment: How Experts Think and Make Decisions in Complex Environments | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:35:13 | |
In this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam speaks with Dr. Gary Klein about how people make decisions in complex, high‑pressure environments. Drawing on decades of research, Gary describes how expert decision making often looks very different from the step‑by‑step models many of us were taught. The conversation explores what intuition really means in expert performance and how judgment develops over time. Gary emphasizes that experience alone is not enough, and that learning depends on how people reflect on their decisions, notice what they missed, and adapt their thinking. He also discusses the ShadowBox method as a practical way to make expert thinking visible and to support learning through comparison and self‑reflection, offering a clear window into how decisions are actually made in practice and what that might mean for how we prepare clinicians to think and act in real clinical settings.

On this special live edition of KeyLIME+, recorded at the Sim Tank innovation event held at Queen's University, Adam brings together a panel of simulation and education leaders to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming medical simulation training. From personalized learning and adaptive assessment to concerns about de-skilling, data ownership, and the evolving role of educators, the conversation examines both the promise and the pitfalls of tech-enhanced simulation. Together, the panel reflects on how emerging technologies may reshape not just how we teach medicine using sim, but how clinicians learn, think, and perform in an increasingly complex healthcare system.

| [44] Formative, Not Performative: Rethinking Teaching Evaluations to Help Teachers Grow | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:30:05 | |
Clinical teaching happens in real time, but feedback about that teaching does not. Too often, feedback shows up late, feels vague, or never arrives at all, especially for the everyday teaching that happens on shift, in the hallway, or at the bedside. Adam speaks with Dr. Esther Bui about why that gap persists, and what it might look like to close it. Esther shares what led her team to build myTE, an app-based tool designed to capture in-the-moment teaching feedback. Together, they explore what traditional evaluation systems tend to miss, why authentic quality feedback is so important, and how trust and psychological safety shape the experience.

| [39] From the Sidelines to the Bedside: What Medical Education Can Learn from Coaching and Feedback in Sports | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:47:18 | |
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.
