Abstract in brief
- This paper explains how cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort caused when holding conflicting beliefs, can negatively impact clinical judgment by making healthcare professionals less receptive to recognizing and correcting errors.
- It discusses the circumstances in which dissonance is most likely to occur in medical practice, illustrating its effects through historical and ongoing medical examples, and suggests ways to reduce its influence to improve clinical decision-making and learning.
- The authors highlight that although cognitive dissonance is well-studied in social psychology, it is under-recognized in medical education, and addressing it could prevent judgment errors, promote better learning, and enhance patient care by encouraging more open acknowledgment of mistakes.]

Imagine, in the 1800s, the doctors that delivered hundreds of babies while not scrubbing up & washing hands learning about childbed fever, how would they feel? What’s are examples of cognitive dissonance in health care today? https://t.co/dRPMsgZgSt
