November Live Grand Rounds and Practice Management Webinars
Join us on Wednesday, November 12, for two live webinars, How to Think Logically and Communicate Clearly in Medicine and HIPAA and Information Blocking – Key Updates to Know.
Grand Rounds Live Webinar Series:
How to Think Logically and Communicate Clearly in Medicine*
From 12:00 – 12:45 pm EST this session, led by Gaurav Sharma, MD, FCAP, is designed to enhance the critical thinking and communication skills of medical professionals by teaching them to identify and avoid common logical fallacies. Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the logic of an argument. They often appear convincing but are actually flawed and can lead to incorrect conclusions.
In the medical field, logical fallacies can impact decision-making and communication. For instance, a healthcare provider might focus only on evidence that supports their initial diagnosis, potentially overlooking important contradictory information. By understanding and recognizing these fallacies, participants will improve their ability to evaluate evidence, make sound decisions, and communicate their ideas effectively.
