#02 - Uncertainty - That’s what one fears most: Scoping review of uncertainty tolerance highlights why theory matters
In this episode, Lara Varpio takes the lead discussing a scoping review study examining uncertainty tolerance.
The hosts debate questions relevant to your educational practice, including: What is the role of uncertainty and uncertainty tolerance in both clinical work and in health professions education? Is uncertaintly tolerance a competence to be expected of clinicians? If yes, how can we teach it? The hosts also share some insights about how to do a scoping review (listen into the ongoing debate between Lara and Jon—is a systematic review more like a narrative review or a systematic review).
Lara's takeaway message: The theory you select to shape your study foundationally shapes the knowledge you develop.
Listen to understand available uncertainty tolerance interventions AND to understand how a different theory would offer our community a very different interpretation.
