Escaping analysis paralysis in medical training: from FRAZZLE to CALM

Key Points

• Improved decision-making was observed in medical training environments with the CALM approach, reducing cognitive load.
• The CALM approach, focused on performance improvement, enables learners to escape analysis paralysis in critical situations.
• Assessment included various medical training settings, highlighting the need for less cognitive overload among trainees.
• Adopting the CALM framework may enhance overall learning outcomes, though further testing in diverse settings is necessary.
