In the realm of Medicine, our clinical skills and scientific understanding are undoubtedly paramount, yet we must also acknowledge the profound impact that our thought processes and mental frameworks can have on our decision-making and patient care.
The human mind is a remarkable instrument, capable of intricate analysis and intuitive leaps.
However, it is not immune to vulnerabilities. Cognitive distortions, those subtle yet potent errors in thinking, can cloud our judgment, hinder effective communication, and compromise the quality of care we provide. As aspiring and practicing medical professionals, recognizing and addressing these distortions is an essential aspect of our growth and responsibility.
This Guest lecture will guide us through the labyrinth of cognitive distortions, unveiling their underlying mechanisms and sharing valuable strategies to overcome them. This guest lecture is not just an academic exercise; it is a journey towards enhancing our self-awareness, enriching our patient interactions, and ultimately elevating the standard of care we deliver.
