Ep 294 - Experts Are Made, Not Born: Sara Crager on Mental Models and Rapid Sequence
Q: What were the challenges in creating Rapid Sequence while working full-time as clinicians?
Balancing development with clinical duties is hard and time-consuming; it requires a dedicated team, passion, and long hours, but the result is a tool that can scale expert thinking beyond the limits of individual teaching sessions.
Ep 294 - Experts Are Made, Not Born: Sara Crager on Mental Models and Rapid Sequence
Q: How does this approach differ from traditional medical education?
Traditional methods often focus on memorization and mnemonic-based checks; Rapid Sequence emphasizes how experts actually think, breaking down decision processes, and teaching through deconstruction, reconstruction, and repeated practice with feedback to develop robust mental models.
Ep 294 - Experts Are Made, Not Born: Sara Crager on Mental Models and Rapid Sequence
Q: What is the core idea behind Rapid Sequence and why is it necessary?
Rapid Sequence is a gamified, scenario-based learning tool that teaches explicit mental models and cognitive strategies for emergency medicine, using realistic clinical simulations and iterative debriefs to promote deliberate practice and safe, repeated skill advancement.
Ep 292 - Leadership, Culture and Psychological Safety in Pre-Hospital Care with Anna Dobbie at Trauma 2030
Q: How has the charity relationship evolved, and what impact has it had on the service?
The charity has grown from a small bucket‑shilling operation to a multi-million pound organization that can fund new streams like ECMO, enabling broader capabilities and more robust clinical programs.
Ep 292 - Leadership, Culture and Psychological Safety in Pre-Hospital Care with Anna Dobbie at Trauma 2030
Q: How do you handle difficult conversations about behavior or performance with high-powered colleagues?
Maintain consistency, ensure private, direct conversations, and apply the same standards to everyone, avoiding singling out any individual while still addressing issues openly.
