List one thing you learned during this session: |
“How to normalize discussions of difficult situations” |
“Avoid early search satisfaction” |

“The importance of pausing for reflection” |

How could this session be improved? |
“ Have the standardized patients be a bit more reserved in letting out information for PGY-1s” |
“It would be useful to have more guidance on the resources we have. The prompts were lengthy-it may be useful to give them to everyone before starting session to avoid delays” |
“I liked the 1st /3rd year combo” |
“Sims are always stressful, but I got great feedback |
