Hey folks, Scott Winegard here and this is the M. Critt podcast. Today on the podcast, a new

recurring segment called M. Critt Shadow Boxing. And the idea is Gary Klein, you know, of the

naturalistic decision-making school. He came on the podcast. I think it was episode 179. He talked

about one of the most effective techniques he has discovered to actually prompt people to gain

tacit knowledge and really hone your intuition. And it was called shadow boxing. And the idea was

you'd take an expert in the field and you'd present them a scenario or a case in the case of medicine.

And you would have them making the decisions they would make in everyday life. Now the key,

the magic to this is at certain segments in the presentation you would pause and let the audience

decide what they would do, what they think is going on, their diagnosis, their treatment plan,

before letting the expert continue. And so you're actually, you know, that's where the shadow

boxing comes in. You're training your mind without a real opponent to gain the skills you want

before you get a really sick patient in front of you. So we're going to try that as a recurring

feature on M. Critt. And this is going to be free for residents, but for learners of any ilk.

But specifically, I wanted to have some free content for the residents in case they can't join

or don't want to join. That will be continuous throughout the year. And I think this is like

one of the most effective ways to really relay information to people that are still in the learning

stage, which could be someone 10 years into their attending ship, dumb hood. I don't know,

attending life. And so I hope you like it. And we will continue to refine it. Now I'm going to be

partnered up on this with some of my former fellows. This month is going to be Ryan Barnacle. He'll

be a regular character on this series. And I'm going to try to get some of my other buddies on

here. And maybe we'll have some special guests on various episodes. We'll see how it goes. Now,

how does it work? At various points in the episode, you will hear this sound.
