Hugely important topic That said, I struggle with the framing that we need to care about physician well-being because well physicians provide better care. While this is true, can we not just care about physician well-being because physicians are people and we care about people? #humanism #MedEd

I often wonder about the unintended consequences of the need to ‘document everything’ in CBME. This interesting paper by an amazing team explores: What can/can’t be easily documented? What should be documented? And What shouldn’t be documented? journals.lww.com/academicmedi...

Excited to see our book is OUT. Please check out this incredible collection. The AMA commissioned this new publication as part of an effort to reimagine how we can advance equity and justice in #MedEd. www.us.elsevierhealth.com/reimagining-...

Amazing and thought-provoking article from @javeedsukhera.bsky.social et al. #MedEd "Medical education research should aspire to generate not only knowledge that is useful but also knowledge that is used." journals.lww.com/academicmedi...

Study on CBME, PIF & transformation learning (TL) in Med Educ. Findings show lots of TL experiences impacting PIF for residnts but no clear relationship to CBME. Some concern that CBME may impede TL. #MedEd @asmeofficial.bsky.social asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

CMEJ Scoping review on ‘fit’ & selection I feel we should be moving away from this. Ample evidence that an over-emphasis on ‘fitting in’ negatively impacts belonging for many (e.g., UrIM, stereotyped groups). What do others think/do? #meded journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/cm...

Hey #MedSky and #MedEd friends. Give me a follow! MD PhD psychiatrist, Department Chair, and scientist who tries not to take himself too seriously. Sometimes I say interesting and deep stuff!

This newly published study, led by Adam Sawatsky, brilliantly explores the challenging and often isolating experience of engaging in identity work in #meded using symbolic interactionism as a theoretic lens. It is a phenomenal read. Highly recommend! pmejournal.org/articles/10....

Hello #medsky #pedsky #hmsky! I’m an Academic Medicine and Pediatrics Hospitalist who has many interests including EBM, creating safe learning environments, eating disorders, and medical education from the bedside to national conferences! I look forward to learning from you all!

Having access to diverse and representative role models and mentors has huge implications for identity formation, retention, wellbeing and belonging. Nice to see this getting more and more attention in the literature

New to this platform after years on Twitter/X. I am a pediatrician & clinician educator who studies how medical education can create learning environments that support authentic professional identity formation, belonging and agency. Looking forward to connecting

Nice to see some friendly and familiar faces on this platform. Happy to join the #MedEd Bluesky community. Hoping to see it keep growing
