9. Profiling EXCELLENCE
Excellence is when we are able to connect with our knowledge and skills in ways far above that of mere technicians…
19. Enhancing EXCELLENCE
Non measurable competency
Can be enhanced only through training, experience and reflection – tacit knowledge
20. Tacit Knowledge

21. Tacit Knowledge
Tacit knowledge is a dimension of knowledge
Knowledge stays in the background as an integrated part of the professional, guiding management of a clinical phenomenon and situation
22. Obstacle to EXCELLENCE
Just using explicit rules, protocols and guidelines as the base for learning anesthesia may be an obstacle for reaching the more advanced levels of expertise seen in excellent practitioners.
Trainees who work by the “book” may be at risk of not acquiring the tacit knowledge they will need when confronted with complex and challenging situations
23. Let’s have inspiring coaches…
Trainees need easy access to the support of more experienced, colleagues.
