Sumario:Supplemental digital content is available in the text. Background: Civility, psychological safety, and effective stress management are essential for meaningful learning conversations. Problem: Incivility triggers fear and humiliation, impairs clinical judgment and learning, reduces psychological safety, and increases cognitive load. These factors converge to make learners less likely to incorporate feedback, speak up when there is a problem, and discuss practice errors and patient safety issues. Approach: The authors combined the Basic Assumption and the PAAIL (Preview, Advocacy1, Advocacy2, Inquiry, and Listen) conversational strategy to help surface (rather than obscure) both educators' and learners' thinking. The synergy of these 2 strategies allows educators to identify individual learning needs and develop the learners' clinical judgment skills. This process improves learning by reducing incivility and cognitive load, improving psychological safety, and strengthening clinical judgment skills. Conclusion: This conversational strategy can minimize stress and anxiety in learners and optimize learning.
