Misconception: Expertise Means Seniority

Captions available

The idea

Expertise is specialised knowledge, familiarity and pattern recognition applied to integrate evidence with preferences. Years accumulate it; they do not constitute it.

In practice

Two clinicians with the same service length and different expertise.

Where people slip

Seniority is visible and expertise is not, which is why the two get substituted for each other in practice.
