His research focuses on medical education and cognitive load in clinical trainees, as well as the teaching and learning process as trainees perform consults. He is broadly interested in figuring out the best ways for medical students, residents, and fellows to learn oncology.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Discuss cognitive load theory (CLT) and its application to GME workplace learning
• Discuss examples of medical education science related to CLT in GME workplace learning
• Discuss how consideration of CLT tenets could promote effective teaching and learning of Heme Onc trainees
