Leaving Room For Rougher Edges in EMS with Radu Venter

In this episode, we explore “Leaving Room for Rougher Edges in

replace self-criticism, and how embracing imperfection can
actually strengthen team culture and patient care. Join us as we
explore the realities of being human in emergency medicine.
