Autonomy, Trust, and the Changing Landscape of Procedural Training and Expertise

Procedural competence is central to safe, effective patient care, and approaches to teaching, evaluation, and skill refinement are rapidly evolving. This Grand Rounds will examine shifts in procedural training and assessment, with particular attention to the roles of autonomy, trust, and supervision in clinical practice. The session will explore challenges in psychomotor skill development and expertise acquisition and how variation in technical performance during common procedures contributes to error and adverse outcomes. It will also highlight the emerging role of data science and machine learning in measuring performance, guiding feedback, and shaping the future of procedural care.
