Yet when those skills are put to the test in the emergency department, in remote settings, or during high-stakes incidents, reality rarely follows the script. \nUncertainty, time pressure, incomplete information, and human factors all influence performance in ways that are difficult to replicate in training.\nDrawing on his experiences, Dr. Singh explores practical methods and mental models he has personally developed and used to perform under pressure. He also draws parallels to how high-performance sports prepare athletes for unpredictability and explores what healthcare can learn from those approaches. \nThe episode also examines healthcare's relationship with failure, from dealing with death and adverse outcomes to learning from mistakes without creating a culture of blame.\nWhether you're a clinician, educator, first responder, or leader operating in high-pressure environments, this episode offers practical methods and insights for performing effectively when the stakes are highest and reality doesn't go according to plan.\n\nThis Week's Paratus Podcast Guest: Dr. Kavi Singh\nDr. Kavi Singh is an emergency physician and educator affiliated with McGill University.
