Participants can expect didactic teaching, interactive exercises, and small group discussion to encourage an engaging 3-hour workshop.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to define productive failure, describe productive failure's use in health professions education, and apply the principles of productive failure in their teaching and assessment approaches.
