Philosophy
How I teach.
The best teaching in emergency medicine does not happen in lecture theatres. It happens at the whiteboard between resuscitations, at the bedside with a confusing presentation.
I build every session around three things: a clinical hook that creates real uncertainty, a structured decision framework, and an honest debrief about the limits of the evidence.
You remember cases, contrasts, and the moments where the diagnosis was missed. You remember how someone reasoned, not what they recited.
Core principles
01
Teach through decisions, not facts
02
Clinical uncertainty is a skill to model
03
Feedback without a framework is noise
04
Five minutes at the whiteboard beats fifty in a lecture
05
Document what you teach. Trainees need evidence
06
Show the limits of guidelines, then reason past them
