As part of one of my presentations at #APSR2025, I covered some emerging technologies in #Medicine & #MedEd, and one of those technologies is the concept of a Digital Twin. . . What IS a Digital Twin, you might ask? 🤔 Let's find out below! 👇

Just *TWO* days left to apply! 👏 @harvardmed.bsky.social's Training to Teach in Medicine course helps clinicians & med educators strengthen their teaching through practical, evidence-based strategies, and a global learning community. 👌 Apply by Oct 8: pll.harvard.edu/course/train... #MedEd

If you teach medicine or train clinicians, this is for you: Harvard’s Training to Teach in Medicine (T2T-M) is a 6 month online certificate program with proven theory + practice, including live virtual workshops, capstones, small-group learning & modern tech. learn.hms.harvard.edu/programs/tra...

So proud to see Camila Marques one of our former students in #Harvard’s Training to Teach in Medicine (T2T-M) program, featured for her #leadership in redefining medical education & collaborative global learning: tinyurl.com/35nhmmc6 👏

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 #MedEd #AIinEducation

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. @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

🌱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. ⬇️

This is pretty cool - @ATS_PITB is presenting a case-based, practical webinar on the 2025 ATS/CDC/ERS/IDSA #tuberculosis guidelines with Jussi Saukkonen & Charles Daly Date: Mon July 21 Time: 12PM EDT Link to register: tinyurl.com/2d7b469n @atscommunity.bsky.social @atsearlycareer.bsky.social

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 www.surgjournal.com/article/S003...

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 educationforhealthjournal.org/index.php/ef... 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. @harvardmed.bsky.social

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 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40458346/ @atsmeded.bsky.social @kevinmd.bsky.social

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. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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. 🧠📉 tinyurl.com/yc6wrtz6

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? 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/qjme...

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. 🧠 @atscommunity.bsky.social

We just completed a *fantastic* info session for the Training to Teach in Medicine T2T-M program (starts 11.6.25). T2T-M is an excellent course for medical educators -> evidence-based #meded, technology, & leadership skills. More info here: postgraduateeducation.hms.harvard.edu/certificate-...

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 @atsmeded.bsky.social

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. www.intealth.org

SO PROUD of all the Training to Teach in Medicine participants who successfully completed the 2024-25 program! 🎉🎊🎉 It was wonderful to celebrate their hard work, dedication, & talent in the amazing T2T-M @harvardmed.bsky.social community in a wonderful graduation ceremony! @harvard.edu

We were honored to have Dr Amy Sullivan lead a #MedEd Research session for our end-of-course Workshop for the 2024-25 Training to Teach in Medicine (T2T-M) certificate program at @harvardmed.bsky.social If YOU'RE interested in joining T2T-M: postgraduateeducation.hms.harvard.edu/certificate-...

“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. 😔 www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-v...

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. www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/pre...

More from @atscommunity.bsky.social - we need to encourage students to engage in direct discussions with faculty & leadership about concerns to foster professional growth, conflict resolution skills, & a culture of open dialogue in #meded @atsmeded.bsky.social www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10....

Med students are increasingly encouraged to voice concerns about faculty behavior, but many lack experience doing so effectively. Schools must equip them with skills to communicate issues productively & navigate professional conflict. @atsscholar.bsky.social www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10....

Seems like it's time to get to know Ideogram.ai. . . Why? 1) Improved image quality - sophisticated spatial compositions, precise lighting & coloring, detailed backgrounds 2) Style reference feature - use reference images to guide aesthetic output #AI #meded about.ideogram.ai/3.0?utm_sour...

I am consistently proud to be from #Boston & @mayorwu.boston.gov’s excellent #BostonSOTC sums up why. . . Boston never backs down, takes care of ALL its people, & shows the world what’s possible, & “God save whoever messes with Boston.” 💪

Two weeks ago, I went down to D.C. because some in Congress had questions about how we do things here in Boston. It might have been my voice speaking into the microphone that day, but it was 700,000 voices that gave Congress their answer: This is our city. #BostonSOTC

Here’s a long, interesting & scorching take on #AppleIntelligence’s failure & maybe the beginning of #Apple’s end. A key takeaway for all of us is ‘A culture of excellence, accountability & integrity can’t abide the acceptance of mediocrity, excuses & bullshit.’ daringfireball.net/2025/03/some...

I thought this when ChatGPT first debuted in November 2022 & my certainty that the field of Diagnostic Radiology will be fundamentally changed by generative #AI has only gotten stronger. From the European Journal of Cancer: AI can read lung cancer screenings “with 100% accuracy as a first reader.”

If you needed more reasons to quit Google Chrome, Manifest V3, Chrome's new extension specification is supposed to “improve privacy”, which of course = 'disable your ability to block ads'. Firefox, in contrast, reaffirmed its commitment to support ad-blocking. 🤷 www.techrepublic.com/article/chro...

What a fantastic conference with the #Philippines 🇵🇭 College of Chest Physicians! 🎉🥳🎉 It was a privilege to attend & to be able to present about #ARDS & technology in #meded @gdyagra.bsky.social & all the #PCCP2025 conference organizers & participants were *amazing*! 🙏

More evidence (albeit retrospective) that dexamethasone provides MORTALITY benefit for hospitalized, mechanically ventilated patients with #COVID-19 - HR 0.67 (95% CI 0.46-0.99, P=0.045) for 28 day mortality (n=576 [288 dex, 288 not]). #ICU #MICU #PCCM bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

My @WAUSM_MD 🇧🇸 medical students are the best! 🤩 What an exceedingly nice #Valentinesday2025 card from them, and like ventilation & perfusion matching, the feeling is mutual! ☺️ #pulmonarypuns 🫁 #meded

Jeremy Grachan PhD did an *amazing* job 👏 leading an engaging & effective session on #gamefication in #meded - we were lucky to have him present in the inaugural T2T-M alumni #webinar session! 🙏 @harvardmed.bsky.social @harvardgh.bsky.social postgraduateeducation.hms.harvard.edu/certificate-...

Hepcidin is important in the pathogenesis of #anemia of chronic disease (e.g., anemia of #inflammation). . . and my students did a GREAT job filling in a blank #conceptmap linking hepcidin -> decreased iron absorption & reticuloendothelial iron sequestration -> anemia 👌 #whiteboardteaching #meded
