Description
A nurse preceptor has just watched a trainee commit a serious error despite hours of lecture, reading, and hands on training. In spite of herself, she starts to heat up, much like the more severe clinical educators who trained her years ago. “Why can’t you just get this right?”
An ICU attending asks her resident to call her if a patient’s hematocrit drops under a certain value. Despite this agreement, and despite the patient deteriorating, the resident never calls. “Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you call me?”
In these moments, how do we reset ourself to a place of care, curiosity, and compassion? How do we model a better culture of learning? How do we have our judgment, instead of our judgment having us?
In “Curious Now with Jenny Rudolph,” a social scientist takes on the hidden structures that shape our behavior, culture, communication, and learning in healthcare.
In this interactive podcast, Jenny Rudolph, PhD, FSSH, will help listeners approach the thoughts, feelings, and judgments underlying their reactions in a psychologically safer manner, helping us to better connect with curiosity and compassion to the people around us, especially when we feel that they’ve done something “wrong.” This podcast will include weekly challenges to examine your own thinking, including follow-up with listeners and experts about their experience on the journey to Good Judgment.
Jenny Rudolph has made a career exploring what makes clinicians, healthcare organizations, and health professions training programs tick. Underneath the surface of intelligent, capable people who care about doing their best are hidden patterns that interfere with how they perform. Hierarchy, ego, communication glitches, resilience, power, professional learning, and how learning happens all flow downstream into creating actions that work and actions that don’t.
Jenny found out the hard way that being too certain can get you in trouble. Demoted from third to second grade for poor academic performance when she arrived in Jaipur, India as an eight-year-old, she realized she had better get curious about how her new school and culture ran, and that curiosity has remained with her ever since.
Jenny now works with clinicians around the world to help them develop their own love of that little dopamine drip of rewarding surprise when you find out something new about your colleagues and how they think. Whether trying to figure out a diagnosis, discovering what a learner is thinking, or upping your own clinical mastery, getting Curious Now is the solution.

Agency is the Power to Act | CMS Book Club Live at #IMSH2026
Roxane Gardner and Grace Ng react to Shawn Kanungo’s keynote talk on innovation at #IMSH2026. Watch here: https://youtu.be/tbUfYHhM3kE
Roxane and Grace both felt that the content of the talk was surprisingly supportive, especially for an ‘innovator’ who was speaking about the role of AI in the changing industry. Much in the way that we talk at CMS about not imposing simulation from the top down as a prepackaged education solution, but instead partnering with teams to learn what they need to help them feel ready and then using simulation as a tool among many to get them there, Shawn helped to position agentic and generative AI in the same way.
Grace was pleased to hear the discussion of agency, and tools that empower people to do things rather than replacing them—her PhD work on nursing agency and how nurses can be empowered to activate rapid response teams, and that seemed very relevant to the moment as we figure out how these tools will shape our work.

Change Comes from Curiosity and Caring | Curious Now Live at #IMSH2026
Commenting on Kevin Brown’s “The Hero Effect” – How do we bring our presence to ordinary moments?
Jenny Rudolph, James Lipshaw, and Jenny Bourque discuss Kevin Brown’s story of a chef using an encounter with his son’s specific dietary restrictions as the launch point for a higher standard which makes Disney’s restaurants more accessible to diners with dietary needs.
How can we not just design our programs, but also carry ourselves in individual conversations, in everyday moments, and lead our industry in a way that ensures that we are creating a standard of access and a standard of service that serves everyone, especially the people whose stories aren’t being heard in the rooms where leadership meets?

Ready to Work Creatively Whether Our Organization Likes It Or Not | Dare to Be Ready Live at #IMSH2026
Chris Roussin reacts to Tania Katan Keynote Lecture at #IMSH2026 on The Dare to Be Ready Podcast
“You need to be different from the status quo to make change.” What does it mean to be called to innovate and work creatively in an organization that is ready and asking for it, versus in an organization that isn’t?
Some organizations have leadership that is passionate about quickly squashing creativity. How do we help people to create change and create readiness in a new way without it feeling like we’re launching it at them from a consultant helicopter as we fly away?
Some advice from the talk that verged away from rah-rah and into the practical that we really liked:
1) Think about a limitation that you have at work, and consider how that limitation could actually be an opportunity for you;
2) Say what your job title is and then imagine a job title more accurate and appropriate to what you do.

Welcome to the Center for Medical Simulation’s Grand Rounds presentation of the new publication in Advances in Simulation, “The Advocacy Inquiry Rubric (AIR), a Standard to Build Debriefing and Feedback Skills”.
Lead author Clément Buléon, an anesthesiologist based in Caen, France, joins CMS Senior Director of Innovation Jenny Rudolph and CMS Assistant Director of Instructional Design James Lipshaw, both co-authors on the paper, to discuss how the AIR can be used to give effective, efficient feedback on questions in debriefing and feedback conversations. Our belief is that this tool can be used like the DASH to help educators improve their own performance in learning conversations, as well as the performance of others.
In addition to discussing the structure and use of the AIR, James presents a series of debriefer videos to Clement and Jenny, who then have to use the AIR to provide feedback to the debriefer. We hope to model how you can “see through the eyes of the AIR” to provide effective, standards-based feedback for educators.

This week, Jenny and James discuss how organizations, not just individuals, can have hidden or implicit standards that are not spoken aloud. We look at how a tool like the new Advocacy Inquiry Rubric, or AIR, can help make excellent performance visible, learnable, and repeatable, and how explicit standards help us target what actually matters in performance and what we want to move toward as a shared goal.
Workout of the Week: When you detect an implicit standard, say it out loud and make it explicit (but be sure to own that this is your perspective!). For example, “I believe that our standard in this unit is that if we need blood drawn from a patient, we start a new draw rather than using an existing IV.”

Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/
We're taking this week off, but we'll have a new podcast on January 2nd, and the CMS media team will be in San Antonio from January 11-14 for IMSH 2026! We hope to see you there.
This week on Curious Now, we’re joined by an expert in the exploration phase of debriefing to help us better understand the “listen and explore” region of PAAIL. Bridget Van Gotten is a Learning and Design Strategist for the Zamierowski Institute for Experiential Learning at Kansas University Medical Center, and a 2015 alum of the CMS Healthcare Simulation Essentials: Design & Debriefing course.
The KUMC team designed a new approach to exploration when they found that in simulation, learners were simply agreeing with the debriefer’s point of view rather than trying to contrast it with their own thoughts, especially when they were doing the right thing (i.e. “I did the correct thing because that’s the correct thing to do.”) A second major discovery was that learners at all experience levels were describing the same barriers to success, rather than having different needs at different levels. For example, both med students and attendings might describe the busyness of the code space as making it difficult to claim a leadership role during the case, often using the exact same words.
Bridget coaches Jenny on how to conduct better explorations of learner thinking, in this case in a faculty development conversation about classroom management and maintaining the attention of learners.

Debriefings are often delayed and diminished by questions the asker already knows the answer to. “Wouldn’t it have been better to give epinephrine faster?” “Did it occur to you to have a family meeting?” And when asked why they don’t just share what they clearly think is the answer, the debriefer will often say something like, “It’s better for them to come to the answer themselves.” But we aren’t really asking the learner to come to an answer with these kinds of questions—we’re asking them to read our mind, and then to agree with us once they do. There’s no opportunity for them to understand their own thinking better.
Today’s episode will try to get you ready to live with the discomfort of not knowing the answer you’re going to get for long enough to ask a genuinely curious question in debriefing.
Workout of the week: Every day, ask one truly open-ended, curious question—one you don’t already know the answer to.

Dr. Catherine Allan, Director of the Cardiac Care Unit and Inpatient Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic joins us to talk about readiness for teams to perform pediatric ECMO, a high-risk, high-complexity therapy that staff might only see a third as often as they see patients on ventilators. ECMO can also be called for during CPR, which greatly increases the time pressure and complexity of the procedure.
During ECPR, there is not only the ICU resuscitation microteam but also the surgical team and the perfusion team, leading to potentially having up to 20 people working in the room when running an ECPR case.
We discuss how leaders can help connect seemingly imposed efforts like checklists and huddles to what it is that frontline workers are trying to achieve and are meaningful to them, and how simulation program designers must do the same in order to make sure that training is not a top-down checklist but rather a mutually owned process that gets teams where they believe they need to go.

Just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday— the CMS Book Club reviews “How to Avoid Awkward Silences” by Patrick King!
“You set the tone for how people react to this… when you act awkward and diffident, people feel awkward and diffident.”
Join us as eight learning conversation experts debate the value of silence, and how we can get the conversation back to flowing when we feel like we’ve lost touch with what’s happening in the debriefing room, classroom, or around the family dinner table.

Why is it so hard for healthcare educators to share what they actually think in a debriefing or feedback situation? Jenny shares the story of a participant in an anesthesia clinical simulation who helped guide her to be more transparent: “I’m often talking to providers on the worst day of their career, after a medical error has occurred. If I’m going to ask them to be honest with me about what they were thinking, the least I can do is be honest about what I’m thinking.”
Over the years training faculty in feedback conversations, we’ve run into many who ask, how is it helpful to tell my learner that I think they’re an idiot? But telling the person what you think honestly should not be your feelings or attributions about their character. It should be the impact of their actions, which exist at the level of concrete data.
Workout of the Week: Practice saying to people, “When you did x, it led to y.” One great feature about this workout is that you can use it for positive things! “When you stayed late to help me with that report, it lowered my stress level.”

Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/
When we lead a conversation where we only bring our conclusions and inferences to the table, rather than the concrete data that helped lead us there, we are influencing (sometimes unjustly) what is even discussable among our teams. By going back down to discussing the data that helped us shape those conclusions, we can make conversations and meetings more fair, more equal, and more productive.
Workout of the week: Note when you have gone up the ladder of inference to a conclusion about a person and perhaps lost track of the data that led you there. Then, go back down and incorporate the data into an observation. Example: “She was defensive” is an inference or conclusion. Go back down the ladder to the data and turn it into an observation: “I observed that she crossed her arms and said, ‘I don’t know,’ twice.”

Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/
Too often, meetings and announcements, especially around policy changes and new ways of working, are a list of topics that fail to address the fundamental questions that matters to team members—why are we talking about this? Whose decision was it? And is that decision final?
Leaders and team members need to understand how power is being wielded, especially when it comes down the line in seemingly inhumane ways. By simply saying a few key words, we can make our teams feel like they had a voice, like power is not being used unfairly, and safe to say when they don’t understand and when they want input.
Workout of the week: Use the subject line of your emails to practice more clearly telling what the purpose of the conversation is.

This week, Jenny and James explore recent conversations that didn’t go as well as they could have, because of different types of failures in the words we chose to use or the things we chose to reveal. Building on the work of recent guest Amy Edmondson, we look at the way that people in fearless organizations can talk—using the conversations that you have to frame the work, emphasize shared purpose to create joy even in everyday work, and demonstrate that you don’t think you have all the answers.
Workout of the week: Observe for conversations where you feel unclear—what was the point of this meeting, why are we having this conversation, what are our goals of care for this patient?

Christian Balmer, an anesthesiologist and critical care doctor from Switzerland, joins us to look at the readiness of surgical teams in his organization to recognize and deal with cases that have gone beyond the capacity of the peripheral center to handle.
Far from being a readiness plan around technical skills, the team discovers that it is the gray areas between intersecting teams and intersection institutions where the process of caring for the patient breaks down. Do the ICU teams at both hospitals agree about when is the right time to transfer the patient? Do the surgeons have training on stepping back and declaring that there is a crisis that needs to be managed via transport? Are there communication plans in place to make sure that the ICU has available beds, and to help the main hospital trust that when the peripheral group sends a patient, that patient has a real need for the ICU bed?
Finally, we discuss aligning training programs from healthcare schools all the way to the hospital—if health systems are looking for teams that can talk to one another, work with patients, and provide care in a particular way, how can we make sure that the schools that are training future healthcare workers are in communication and prioritizing the skills and ability to learn that they will need to be ready for the job?

In this special episode, Jenny Rudolph and James Lipshaw, producer of Curious Now, debrief our performance so far with the podcast, what we had in our original vision that we haven’t achieved yet, and where we’d like to go next. How can we rachet up the interactivity of the podcast, how do we make the experience of trying to do this work right more relatable and less of a lecture, and how do we tune the difficulty of the workouts to the experience levels of our guests better?
Do you have feedback for Jenny on the first three chapters of Curious Now? Now is a great time to comment—let us know below this post what you’d like to see in the future, and how the workouts are going for you!

Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/
We have an incredibly special guest this week on Curious Now! Amy Edmondson, Professor at Harvard Business School, and author of numerous books including Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy and The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth joins us to discuss her concept of psychological safety, how a failed study led to its invention, and how leaders can create organizations that learn.
An initial study with a well-validated tool found a correlation between having better teams and having HIGHER error rates. Reluctant to bring this result to her thesis advisor, she came to an idea: Maybe better teams don’t make more mistakes, but rather better teams are more willing to talk about mistakes.
Bringing psychological safety to the present day, Amy and Jenny discuss how the best examples of crisis leadership involve what Amy calls “situational humility,” the ability to say, “we’ve never been here before,” and then framing the problem as an opportunity to find solutions and seeking and inviting input, along with a continual refreshment of common purpose.
How can individuals create a “learning frame” to grow in a crisis rather than an “execution frame” where you’re just getting work done; being open to hearing feedback both from your colleagues and your work itself as you do it.
While “learning work” can seem in the short term to take more energy or more bandwidth, in the broader view it creates vastly easier work through an increase in skill and understanding. Dr. Edmondson says, “If you’re not an organization that has found ways to hardwire learning and feedback loops into everything that it does, you will get caught unawares in a fast-changing, complex world.”

Dare to Be Ready with Dr. Chris Roussin, founder of CMS-ALPS, the Center for Medical Simulation’s team and organization readiness consulting service. In this podcast, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and in video form on Youtube, Chris will meet with a series of guests with specific readiness challenges in their healthcare teams. Each week we will approach the challenge of how to get teams ready for the difficult work they face every day, and work through how we can get our people and teams ready to face that challenge. Join us monthly and Dare to Be Ready!

Episode 1: Ready to Help “Safe” Patients with Diabetes in the ER
Dr. Marie McDonnell is an Endocrinologist and Director of Diabetes at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, joins us to discuss her team’s readiness challenges around training with the Emergency Room to connect triaged emergency care with diabetes specialty care.
Readiness Challenges: The care teams in the Emergency Room are ready and skilled in treating patients with diabetes who come in very sick and need to be admitted to the hospital. However, the Emergency Room also experiences a very high volume of diabetes recidivism, patients with diabetes who are stabilized and able to be discharged but then return later with the same issue presenting again. This is compounded by the fact that 50% of diabetes patients in the ER arrive between 5 PM and 9 AM because they could not contact their normal endocrinology care teams.
Today we work on a readiness plan to help ER teams better connect into the big system of diabetes care within the hospital so that patients who are “safe” get connected with specialists who can solve the underlying diabetes self-care issues that brought them to the ER, so that they don’t end up back in the ER later that day.
