The Peds NP: Pearls of Pediatric Evidence-Based Practice
Health & Fitness:Medicine
This episode is the first installment on a new mini series on cognitive bias in pediatric healthcare. We begin by discussing what cognitive bias is, how it becomes diagnostic error, and the impact on healthcare in America. Begin to think about how you think and explore the interesting ways our brains use mental shortcuts to arrive at an answer.
