Just imagine the resulting shame and embarrassment that can accompany this, and the impact it can have on this faculty member’s confidence as they must continue to do their job while waiting two long years to retake the exam. Join us this week as one of our young faculty members in pediatric critical care shares her experience after failing her critical care board exams. In humility and blunt honesty, Dr. Natalie Henderson shares with Drs. Rabalais, Saner, and Weingartner how this impacted her work and family life as she studied and waited to take the exam, not just one more time, but two more times. We can all learn from how Dr. Henderson demonstrated her capacity to take action, handling this exam failure with courage and vulnerability.
