Multitasking has always been a necessary part in emergency services. However, only recently have advances in cognitive psychology and functional MRI studies allowed us to peer into the multitasking mind and the parts of the brain that control it. This program discusses how we can filter out multitasking “noise”, train to multitask better and identify when we need to avoid multitasking altogether to avoid costly clinical, tactical and managerial mistakes.
