How #AI chatbots PRESENT themselves matters. In a study of med students using avatars designed for either warmth or competence, learners responded differently:

-Warm avatars fostered reflection and engagement
-Competent avatars supported task performance

Intimidated by BEING a mentor? You’re not alone. Mentorship skills aren't taught during #medschool or residency, & it seems like it's expected you'll just "know what to do" as an early career MD / healthcare professional faculty - which is wrong. A about brief 🧵 #mentorship 👇

Fascinating to see that nih.gov was one of the top 10 sites (#8) of traffic driven by #AI #chatbot prompts. This demonstrates how much traffic sites get from ChatGPT, Perplexity, & other AI platforms, as opposed to search engines.

🌱A recent cross-sectional study from #Singapore adds to a growing body of evidence: daily #gardening is linked to lower odds of anxiety & physical health limitations, particularly in older adults. A 🧵 for clinicians & #meded educators interested in lifestyle and preventive health. ⬇️

Is strict pre-procedural fasting still necessary?! 🧐

A new systematic review & meta-analysis in Surgery finds NO association between liberal fasting policies & witnessed pulmonary aspiration during procedures. 🚫🥣A thread with key takeaways for clinical practice

Proud to share our new article on using Design Thinking to teach med students curriculum development with my brilliant colleagues: Allison Fialkowski, Holly Gooding, Andrea Schwartz, Julia Caton, Sukyung Chung

So, what did we do?! 👇

Instructional design in #meded isn’t just course-building - it’s a strategic process aligning learners, objectives, resources, & assessments. Whether it's a new curriculum or a revision, a systematic approach ensures outcomes are intentional, not incidental.

In this article in @cureusmedical.bsky.social the authors propose decoupling USMLE Steps 1 & 2 from med school curricula - moving them post‑residency match to reduce undue pressure & stress on med students during training

What happens in clinical practice when something meaningful occurs, but you don't have time to unpack it in the moment? 🤔

Consider using "hot spots" in clinical encounters: moments of engaged #curiosity that shape empathic reasoning under complexity.

A new @mit.edu study raises a pressing concern: Is reliance on AI eroding critical thinking?

Using EEG, researchers found students using ChatGPT to write essays showed significantly lower brain activity than those using Google - or no tools at all. 🧠📉

Hot off the presses: #AI can simulate clinical reasoning - passing USMLE & matching resident-level accuracy. But reliability remains a challenge as it seems LLMs mimic thought, not understanding. So what does this mean for #meded & clinical education?

Clinical reasoning is central to safe, effective care - yet too often, we assume residents will learn it passively. A recent study tested whether structured deliberate practice in a psychologically safe workshop setting could ⬆️ reasoning skills in pediatric interns. 🧠

Video of RBCs & platelets floating through an artery - it's not anatomically or mechanistically perfect. . . but it's pretty good for a first draft of an AI-generated video! #meded #cinemaflow #anatomy #vascularsystem

The "travel ban" enacted this past week is scary for physicians in training, but current J-1 physicians *already in training* with valid J-1 visas & status are NOT impacted by the proclamation. However, physicians from impacted countries should NOT travel outside the U.S. for now.

“The new #COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1, linked to a surge in China, has been detected across multiple U.S. locations” per the CDC.

It’s bittersweet to see #CDC doing exactly what it should amidst recent workforce, transparency & public health leadership rollbacks. 😔

This is interesting - researchers from the University of #Tokyo have found a way to observe platelet clumping & clotting with microscopy & #AI in patients with coronary artery disease. Caveat: this is *just* a press release & NOT a peer-reviewed publication.
