The full paper that makes this case – a case I've been wanting to articulate for more than a decade – is in preparation now... #MedEd

One of the most important claims from our forthcoming paper... "An overreliance on student satisfaction surveys can send the wrong message: that keeping students happy matters more than rigorous education." #MedEd #Satisfaction #Survey

🚨Coming soon in @acadmedjournal.bsky.social‬!🚨 Are we relying too much on student satisfaction #surveys in #MedEd? As someone who loves a good survey (when used appropriately), I lead this call for reform that moves beyond “smile sheets” in evaluations of #teaching and #learning. #accreditation

🧠📱 Just published in NEJM AI, we explore the promise and the perils of using #GenAI to prepare students for OSCEs. #AI can simulate patients, but it can’t replace the cognitive work of becoming a clinician. #MedEd Read more here: doi.org/10.1056/AIe2...

This is super cool, especially if you like images and math... #MedEd Total Pixel Space youtu.be/zpAeygE4d1A?...

Regression only adjusts for what you measure. In correlational research, unmeasured variables are always lurking. That’s why, in part, correlation ≠ causation—the real cause might be something you didn’t even include in the model. #MedEd #Stats #SurveyDesign

The folks at USU have done a nice job with this little video on how medical students can provide useful feedback on their end-of-course #MedEd evaluations... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHOM...

📚 IM residents report spending 10–18 hrs/week on self-directed learning (SDL), w/ seniors leaning into podcasts over textbooks.🩺Despite high clinical demands, SDL remains a core part of training. Time for educators to support it better. #MedEd #GME #IM www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If you’re designing a new #GME curriculum, consider conducting a needs assessment first… #MedEd meridian.allenpress.com/jgme/article...

Some advice on doing a high-quality peer review in #MedEd...

Here’s a potentially controversial statement: organizations responsible for bldg #MedEd research & scholarship capacity shld choose a handful of areas they encourage & support, instead of facilitating everyone’s pet project, many of which r half baked. Doing so would result in better research.

“The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.” —John W. Gardner #MedEd

From my colleague, Jeff Green: “New meta-analysis w/ strong evidence the expertise reversal effect "is a thing." Instructional support really helps low prior knowledge learners & impedes high prior knowledge learners…” #MedEd www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A must read for leaders in #MedEd... Integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence Into Medical Education: Curriculum, Policy, and Governance Strategies @AdamRodmanMD journals.lww.com/academicmedi...

More proof that this administration is clueless on pretty much everything they do. Look at this ridiculously flawed rating scale they’re using on the DoD’s “fraud, waste, and abuse survey.” I can just see their ridiculous headlines now, using data from this useless tool… #MedEd

The speed & scale of #GenAI are promising. #AI surfaces answers quickly, fluently, & confidently, sometimes w/o any effort from the learner. Herein lies a major #MedEd paradox: if AI makes learning easier, do students risk missing the very struggles that lead to real learning?

Activity is not accomplishment. #MedEd

Visiting my #MedEd friends @ UCSF

Been seeing these everywhere, so I just had to try… 😂 #MedEd

So great to visit my old friend and do an invited talk at the Kaiser Medical School!!! #MedEd

And I thought the NRA and Trump Administration wrote bad #surveys… 😂 #MedEd #Survey #poll

Good morning, #MedEd peeps.

If you like checklists, and you do quantitative #MedEd research, you might really like this article... journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

You're sitting on an APT cmte, & a few members start discussing a #MedEd applicant's h-index. You quickly realize they have NO IDEA what they're talking abt, especially when it comes to the metric's limitations. To educate them, pls consider sharing this short video: zenodo.org/records/1497...

To all my Canadian friends, please know that despite what our Idiot-in-Chief has to say, we LOVE Canada. And we don’t want you to be the 51st state. In fact, at this point, I think I’d rather be a province of Canada! Please also know that the majority of sane Americans feel the same way. ❤️ #MedEd

The hardest #MedEd articles to get published r ur best & ur worst articles. It’s obvious why the worst articles r hard to publish: they’re just bad. But the best articles r hard to get published b/c often times u’re saying something that the field is not ready to hear. So, to you, I say—PERSIST!

By one estimate, PIs spend ~44% of their time APPLYING for grants. This is a problem, as it means that organizations like the NIH are effectively PAYING scientists to APPLY for grants, as opposed to actually DOING science. We can do better... #MedEd

Good morning #MedEd friends…

“The successful learn vicariously; the foolish insist on firsthand pain.” #MedEd

Excited for Martin Pusic's talk: "Why Do They Call it a Learning Curve? How to Use the Non-linearity of Learning to Improve Your Education Programs and Research." Martin is AWESOME, and his insights on leveraging non-linear learning curves to enhance #MedEd are fascinating!

Love this quote. It sort of defines my life: working (mostly) alone all day in anticipation of socializing with friends… “An old friend of mine, a journalist, once said that paradise on earth was to work all day alone in anticipation of an evening in interesting company.” ―Ian McEwan #MedEd

“You are under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago.” —Alan Watts

Okay, here goes nothing… My first post on @bsky.app. If you’re a #MedEd person (or #GME, #HigherEd, #education, #survey, etc. person), please follow me and let me know if you have suggestions for how I might best use Bluesky!
