About this session

In this session, we will examine barriers impeding effective decision-making and critical thinking in clinical research, including cognitive biases and information overload, and provide tips and scientifically based tools to help study team members navigate difficult decisions. Criteria for fostering a positive decision-making environment, emphasizing transparency and open communication, will also be examined. Attendees will engage in a thorough analysis of the deductive and inductive reasoning processes inherent to clinical research decision-making. By session's end, participants will emerge armed with empirically grounded strategies to navigate complexity, cultivate critical thinking, and drive impactful outcomes in their clinical research endeavors.
