About the Keynote
Trust is a social construction. Trustworthiness is what we, collectively, say it is. Therefore, it is a negotiation which takes place in the relationships among learner, teacher, and patient, among others. Physicians often don’t agree with each other or with patients about who is trustworthy. Luckily, trust judgments made by individuals with accumulated experience and wisdom, even when there is disagreement with others, can still be highly valuable to learners and learning when combined with performance metrics and coaching. Yes, of course physicians can learn to be trustworthy, depending on what we mean by trust.
