Talk as joint social activity impacts communication practices, learning, and patient care. This session explores the important role of talk in health professions education. We can steer the talk of practice through formal means but also through informal means by fostering psychological safety through supportive relationships and learning environments. Lessons learned from healthcare debriefing will help us identify ways to address the ‘process’ and ‘content’ of talk of clinical practice to promote learning and patient care. These synergies have practical applications for learning conversations in workplace and simulation settings in three key ways: how we design curricula, how we develop faculty, and how we support learners.
