Justine M Naylor explores a new approach for teaching clinical skills that focuses on lifelong, learner-centered continuing professional development (CPD) for all stages of a medical career. The goal is to improve patient care, prevent clinician burnout, and enhance quality and safety in healthcare settings. A recent study by Flynn and colleagues showed success with just-in-time coaching for inexperienced clinicians in high-risk procedural care, leading to improved success rates and competency levels. This approach, which involves point-of-care training under controlled conditions, has the potential to be widely adopted to accelerate competency in inexperienced individuals without adding significant burden on existing resources.
