Back with a bit more on JDM bias. If you are not sure what JDM stands for, listen in (and consider listening to episode 5)! We cover the difference between racial bias and JDM bias; examples of the latter including anchoring and adjustment, fundamental attribution error, and ascertainment bias. Dr. Pat Croskerry, MD PhD, is a professor in emergency medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. For the past 10 years, he has been Director, Critical Thinking Program, Division of Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, at that same institution. Trained as an experimental psychologist, Dr. Croskerry went on to become an emergency medicine physician and found himself surprised by the relatively scant amount of attention given to cognitive errors. He is one of the world's foremost experts in safety in emergency medicine and in diagnostic errors. He is humble, honest, and thoughtful; read this interview for more insight into his background and work in the emergency department (https://psnet.ahrq.gov/perspective/conversation-withpat-croskerry-md-phd).
