Title: I Think, Therefore I Act: From Thought to Action in Medical Education

Date: Thursday, November 13, 2025 – This webinar will be delivered in English

Presentation 2: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific, (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern)

Presenter: Dr. Beatrice Preti, Western University

Biography:

Beatrice Preti is a passionate teacher and medical education researcher. A GI medical oncologist by training, she completed her MD through McMaster University, internal medicine residency through Queen's, medical oncology residency and fellowship through Western, and MMEd through the University of Dundee (Dundee, UK). Currently, she is an adjunct professor with Western University, as well as an assistant professor with Emory University (Atlanta, USA) and a PhD candidate with Maastricht University (Maastricht, Netherlands). Her research focuses on hierarchy-mediated social psychology processes in learning environments, particularly the interplay between mindset and trainee-consultant interactions. Outside of medicine, she has a strong interest in writing and the arts, while having a talent for telling jokes only she finds funny (speaking of thought-to-action processes...).

Webinar Overview:

This webinar will combine prominent social psychology theories with the presenter's own research to show how intrapersonal thought processes can influence interpersonal behaviour in medical education settings. Emphasis will be given to learner reactions and responses in trainee-faculty teaching relationships. In this interactive webinar, participants will be invited to consider and weigh-in on phenomena including moral distress and psychological safety, as well as broader concepts such as mindset and conflict, and how this influences the learner experience. We will also consider the possibility of less-desirable thought-to-action processes, with an emphasis on potential intervention points in participants' own settings.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  • Recognise the impact of intrapersonal thoughts on interpersonal actions when trainees interact with teaching physicians
  • Cite at least three examples of undesirable thought-to-action processes which can play out in medical education settings
  • Describe an intervention in participants’ own context to address undesirable thought-to-action processes in medical education
