Unveiling Intraprofessional Dynamics: Learning Teamwork in Acute Care Consultations Between Paediatric and General Practice Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Effective remote collaboration under high-pressure conditions-such as physicians consulting each other by phone about acutely ill patients-is a complex aspect of teamwork. Despite its importance for patient outcomes, medical training has often overlooked the emotional and cognitive dynamics that shape teamwork.
