Presented by Bethany Colaprete

Some may say achievement is of upmost importance in veterinary school. Mastering the content can be an essential component to becoming a competent veterinary professional. Some may argue learning is the key and mastery is on a continuum. Whatever your philosophy or teaching pedagogy, there can be challenges, even barriers, to learning and performance. This workshop will address the most common cognitive distortions that impact a person’s peak performance by sharing the research and highlighting some examples in the academic arena. Effective strategies on how to overcome these challenges will also be discussed.
