Abstract

Abstract: This work of fiction re‐enacts a scenario in which a medical physics resident was not able to address a physics call during patient simulation and was criticized by the supervising faculty physicist in front of the team and the patient. The resident and the faculty agreed to meet afterwards to debrief the situation, in the hope of establishing a better working relationship. The intended use of this case, through group discussion, self‐study, or role‐play, is to encourage readers to discuss the situation at hand, inspire professionalism and leadership thinking, and allow the practice of conflict management. Facilitator's notes are available upon request to the MPLA Cases Subcommittee. This case study falls under the scope of and is supported by the Medical Physics Leadership Academy (MPLA), a committee in the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM).
