This session will give faculty an introduction to evidence from the science of cognitive learning and explore applications in the setting of graduate medical education. In a engaging and interactive fashion the concepts of mindset and evidence based approaches to learning and teaching will be introduced. Participants will leave the session with ideas and energy to enhance everyday residency life from formal didactics, office time, rounding to sign out with insights from the science of learning as gleaned from current concepts in cognitive psychology and adult learning. Ways to help individual residents formulate an effective study plan for increasing medical knowledge will be shared in light of effective adult learning.

Learning Objectives

• Incorporate evidence-based learning from the cognitive psychology research in the every day life of graduate medical education.
