Recently, the staff here in the OITE had a dose of our own medicine. Our boss asked us to complete a document about our professional goals and needs. This document reminded many of us about how we tell trainees to “fill out an IDP”. For a group of professionals in the career development field, we were all surprised how hard this document was to complete. Now, we have a whole new appreciation of what our trainees struggle with when we ask them to do the same thing.
