EP26: Dr. Marie Angele Theard on the emotions in fixed vs. growth mindsets and real-time effects

How shame characterizes the fixed mindset and how warmth and curiosity characterize the growth mindset - this is an important conversation for everyone in medicine who has been affected by the hidden curriculum of perfectionism and other "-isms". Dr. Marie Angele Theard was educated at the University of Illinois, where she also completed residency. She went on to fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. She is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, and she's a member of several societies in anesthesia, including the Society of Education in Anesthesia, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, as well as the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care. For that latter organization, she is on the Board of Directors. She's currently working as a neuroanesthesiologist in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Washington, and she's an Associate Director of the Education Training Core at Harborview Injury Prevention Center in Seattle, Washington. As you probably noted from the prior episode, if you had the chance to tune in, education is very important to Dr. Theard, and partly why she's so interested in the growth mindset and has an article written on it that I think would benefit really all physicians as well as trainees to read.
