Abstract

During the course of our professional careers, we may anticipate transitioning into new arenas of practice. These may be small leaps (i.e. developing new skills for use within our field) or larger leaps (i.e. re-training for a new field of practice). While the development of expertise has been explored in depth, it’s converse, namely moving from expert to novice, is less well-described. In this WITA, we will share our own stories of transitioning from expert to novice, suggest some relevant theories that may inform our understanding of this transition and foster discussion with participants as to the nature of these transitions.

Objectives

  1. Share personal stories of moving from expert to novice in professional practice.
  2. Explore relevant theories that may inform this transition.
