A Failure Shared is Not a Failure: Learning from Our Mistakes

Watch
Overview

The goal of this event is to build a healthier culture within our profession that empowers us to speak openly about our mistakes and learn from one another. We encourage our colleagues to share their experiences to benefit our professional community and welcome a variety of topics, including treatment errors, accidents, miscommunications, and project management mishaps, as well as more systemic issues such as gender inequity or racism. As in past sessions, it’s sure to be fun, sad, educational, hilarious, and sobering all at once! This year, we will include a discussion session following the presentations that will provide a forum for viewers and participants to share their own experiences and reflections. In keeping with the 2021 meeting theme, we hope this will be an opportunity to collectively brainstorm how we can transform our individual thinking, workplace cultures, and profession with regard to accepting and learning from mistakes.
