Teamwork

Collaborative environment -> respect, working together, empathy towards others, going further than one would go alone, everyone knows what their role is and what they need to do

Setting an example -> important for establishing a culture of respect, integrity, etc

Having clear guidelines and protocols -> useful in navigating complex scenarios (especially involving culture)

(looks at prepared casper questions) fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[medstudystruggles]

do i know all the context? am i taking in information in a factual, non-biased manner?

how can i frame my concerns when i am escalating the situation? what are the keywords can i use?

what are my aims here? am i promoting something, am i trying to help someone, am i trying to cause a change in situation?

can i use this as an opportunity for growth and change? can i help in creating this change? can i also learn from this?

saying i might say "x"... etc introduces a humane element to my answer

what are your strengths

what are your weaknesses

what are your values and why do you want to pursue medicine

signposting is always your friend :) but don't use structures for every single thing. but it's a good thing to fall back on when you're lost

1. provide specific examples of what you have done. what kind of graphics, analogies, etc did you use?,

2. once again, it is elaborating about how you can keep the conversation open. how will you make the person feel comfortable enough to open up enough to ask about something?,

3. include a bit of human element at the start (empathy, i want to make them feel comfortable 1-2 sentences)

[medstudystruggles]

justify why you want to do something. reason through nuances in the scenario

analyse your relationship with the person and acknowledge the ramifications of reporting (long-term professional career, working relationship with you, that it is not hurting himself and he is choosing to do this),

it's okay to not necessarily report people... because, is it really your responsibility? would reporting be really worth it?

it is more important to have answered fully than to have filled out a minute
