This episode was recorded live on the scene of my very first restorative medical education retreat! Join me as I give you a tour around my very cosy and beautiful room in the Millcroft Inn & Spa. I wanted to capture my real time reflections and insights from this incredible experience and share them with you. The main message I couldn't stop thinking about was everything that happened that turned this retreat from dream to reality - and how you could do the same with any dream you might have.

Effective feedback is a pivotal element in fostering growth and development within the healthcare profession, yet it remains a topic that many individuals approach with trepidation. In this episode, I engage in a profound dialogue with Dr. Paul Tran, a pediatric gastroenterologist and esteemed educator, who passionately advocates for the necessity of constructive feedback. Dr. Tran elucidates the significance of establishing mutual goals and expectations, emphasizing that feedback should not only be seen as a critique but rather an opportunity for collaborative growth. Throughout our conversation, we explore practical strategies to diminish the apprehension surrounding feedback, highlighting the importance of kindness and empathy in delivering messages that encourage improvement. Ultimately, we aspire to transform the feedback process into a constructive dialogue that empowers individuals to flourish in their professional journeys.
