Summary:
This distinction between knowledge and skills lies at the heart of the difference between traditional paths toward expertise and the deliberate-practice approach.
In many cases, we tend to focus on knowledge about one field, little or none of which will have direct application to the skills required in real professional setting.
The general argument has been that the skills can be mastered relatively easily if the knowledge is there.
In the case of medicine, future doctors don’t begin their training in medicine until they enter medical school, and even once they reach that milestone they spend a couple of years in coursework before getting to clinical work.
However, several researchers have examined the benefits of continuing medical education for practicing physicians, and the consensus is that while it is not exactly worthless, it’s not doing much good, either.
Neither doctors nor nurses gain expertise from experience alone even if they are serious about keeping their skills sharp.
So the author believes the best approach will be to develop new skills-based training programs that will supplement or completely replace the knowledge-based approaches that are the norm now in many places.

The ability—to recognize unexpected situations, quickly consider various possible responses, and decide on the best one—is important.

感悟:知识是很重要,但练习的作用不可替代。知识和经验能让我们在巨人的肩膀上看得更远,但想想,我们的祖先正是从实践中获得了真知。现在提倡的匠人精神,就是在强调我们在think out of the box 的同时,也不能忘记,我们赖以生存的技能是靠汗水和练习锻造,当然,其中我们尤其提倡刻意练习。
