The days of #meded learners constantly fact-checking you live with @openevidence.bsky.social are here. You have two options: 1. Claim you’re smarter than the best medical LLM on the planet, which has access to nearly all medical research within minutes 2. Embrace it, stay humble, and grow

In our next RJIM release, references will be parsed from the manuscript you upload. Then just click fetch, and the metadata and formatted reference will be autofilled. The fact that authors need to format references themselves for journal submissions in 2026 is crazy… #meded #research #emimcc

What's fundamentally wrong with editorial management systems is they are document based. This prevents automated copyediting, formatting, and AI integration. At RJIM, working on PostgreSQL-based editorial management with minimal author friction to automate 90% of the process #research

RJIM now has an ISSN registered with the Library of Congress and is searchable in WorldCat 🎊🎉 A great place to publish your Internal Medicine case reports and research as open access for free, because that’s the way we think it should be rjmedicine.org #EMIMCC

Welcome to the Duolingo of #POCUS - The iPhone App PulseCheck by MedEdAssessments. Watch videos to learn and answer questions to climb the leaderboard. Not only that - but you can use this App to Duolingo-ify any curriculum you want... #MedEd

$13,000 to publish a paper. At some point, open access stopped being about access. #research #academia

I am no longer winning the game I literally made 😅. At least people seem to enjoy it. You can play or Duolingo-ify your own teaching materials, 100% free at mededassessments.com #meded #EMIMCC

Do you think this applies to #MedEd ?

I wanted to stay consistent with board review, so I built the Duolingo of critical care The entire ABIM blueprint (>400 lessons) Review articles for reading Quizzes to practice (>2,000 MCQs) Track your daily streak Climb the leaderboard 100% free #meded #EMIMCC tinyurl.com/3nesysyf

Textbooks are so 20th century. They're: -obsolete in a year or two -passive -teach facts over reasoning Instead, you can take any content and use AI to: -generate cases that teach reasoning -organize into tracks that are pull-along and engaging -link to living docs (UpToDate) #MedEd

RJIM is now on Google Scholar 🎉🎊 We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit journal with no mandatory APCs sometimes paid peer review Open to case reports and original research in #InternalMedicine

We used to hand out PDFs of cases to residents… So I added open-ended questions to #MedEd Assessments. Provide the ideal answer as the instructor, and AI will grade the learners’ answers against it. Incorporated with learning streaks, leader boards, and pre-post assessment.

Our online #POCUS track now includes volume status with appearances from the great @katiewiskar.bsky.social @pocusmeded.bsky.social @pocus101.bsky.social Enroll to learn, or if you’re a teacher, clone the track and add your own content Totally free. beta.mededassessments.com/track-reposi...

It's 2026, stop giving lectures. beta.mededassessments.com now lets you Duolingo-ify them in one click. Make learning pathways with XP and learning streaks. Track progress on the leaderboard. Share your curriculum to the repo & integrate assessments. Totally free. Totally open. #MedEd

An interesting study on #medstudent research growth from 2003-2023 doi.org/10.1371/jour... Similar to our 2012-2022 findings by showing tremendous growth: doi.org/10.63495/710... But is the research growth finally starting to plateau?? #MedEd

The only hope for our field is triadic care, where AI is deployed in such a way that maintains -- or even enhances -- human relationships. Otherwise, "AI doctor" startups will continue to chip away and further fragment our already struggling primary care.

I have tons of lectures that I've made for #medstudents and #residents, but I wanted to gamify them to make them more engaging. So I built a free gamification feature on beta.mededassessments.com. Upload a lecture, and it generates a team comp, jeopardy, or live quiz game #MedEd #MedSky #EMIMCC

Howdy #MedEd friends and enemies, our MedEd game research group/community of practice is planning our first conference. If you are into that sort of thing let me know what you want to see and get notified when details are up. ohsu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

How do we improve the quality of feedback faculty receive? A resident-led feedback model led to: • 📈 Higher-quality narrative feedback • ✅ 100% eval completion • 🧠 More specific, actionable insights www.rjmedicine.org/publications... #MedEd #GME #medsky

Scientists sued the six biggest for-profit academic publishers, alleging they colluded to enforce “publish-or-perish,” single-submission rules, unpaid peer review, and limits on sharing research. The results just came in…

AI in research is going really well

Are benzo drips going to make a comeback in the ICU?? #EMIMCC #ICU

How to fix scientific publishing: 1. Build GitHub for manuscript writing 2. Set up preprints and publishing as pull requests ⭐️Versioning/contributor tracking mitigate fraud ⭐️Pull requests mitigate administrative costs ⭐️Everything is open ⭐️The freemium model improves access #research #meded #medsky

I often get asked by residents and medical students where they can publish their case reports. So I built a tool where you can query over 1000 medical journals that publish CRs by cost, MEDLINE status, time to publication, specialty, etc. #meded #research #medsky www.rjmedicine.org/journal-finder

RJIM just completed its first paid peer review. That’s right, we just sent a peer reviewer real money. Because 👏🏼 that’s 👏🏼 how 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 should 👏🏼 work #research #medsky

The top six commercial publishers are currently being sued for anti-trust violations (Uddin v. Elsevier, B.V., 1:24-cv-06409). They publish the majority of articles on PubMed. This year, we will find out the verdict. If they lose, this would have DRAMATIC effects on #research

Working on a feature that I think every journal should have: 👉You drag and drop your manuscript 👉It fills in the sections 👉It formats all your references How much time do researchers waste formatting manuscripts? An estimated $230 MILLION in work hours yearly #research #medsky #meded

This is the last 150 years of PubMed publications by major Publishing organizations. It started with small University and Nonprofit presses, now becoming an absolute domination by commercial publishers #research #medsky

#vibecoding for statistics🤌. Not only did the results match up to mine, but it created a beautiful dashboard to present them. #MedEd

I took our #POCUS curriculum powerpoints and textbook chapters and vibe-coded it into a more engaging and trackable Duolingo-like platform. It's 100% free (and always will be) if you want to check it out (pocus-pathway.replit.app). This ability to transform #meded content quickly is amazing

I was drawn to Twitter because of #POCUS and seeing experts’ images and tweetorials. It inspired the research question: Does using Twitter lead to measurable improvements in #POCUS image interpretation. We conducted a randomized trial to see, and the results were surprising… #MedEd #medsky

The interest in rjmedicine.org has been validating. Researchers are ready for a non-profit, truly open publishing ecosystem. To keep up with growth, we're now using NextJS. We'll be able to build AI integration and automation. If you're interested in crafting the ideal publishing experience, join us

🔥Fresh blog🔥 Hot take on RSI trial of ketamine vs etomidate RSI & EvK trials both show *more* BP instability with ketamine *but* lower mortality with ketamine 🤔 Cause of BP drops with ketamine? - Less pressor pre-intubation? - Ketamine provides analgesia (eliminating pain-as-a-pressor)? ... #1/2

Over 20,000 researchers have signed a petition to boycott Elsevier for rising publication costs. But you've probably never heard of it... A thread on The Cost of Knowledge Boycott, what it is, whether it worked, and an alternative #research #medsky #meded

Excellent article on the explosion of commercial research publishing. “The current system is a choice. It prioritizes the stock portfolios of a few multinational corporations over the integrity of the scientific record.” #medsky #research www.zmescience.com/science/news...

I’m usually not one to throw shade at choosing mortality for an #ICU primary outcome… but for arterial lines? Did people think they saved lives? And this is in NEJM? #EMIMCC #criticalcare #MedSky

IRBs today: “You want to teach students and publish it? Write 20 pages about ensuring their data privacy and we’ll think about it” IRBs 40 yrs ago: “You want to make your students inhale toxic gas just to see what happens? Okay, just make it a little bit of toxic gas” #research #meded

In <12 hours of work, I transformed our #POCUS curriculum into an async pathway with duolingo-like features and instructor dashboards. Vibe-coding may simultaneously be the most powerful #meded tool today BUT the easiest way to get into legal trouble. Here's how to harness it🧵

Outstanding work that shows immense scientific fraud. “For instance, of the 79 papers that one editor had handled at PLOS ONE, 49 have been retracted” HOW are journals not catching this?! #research #academicSky #MedSky www.science.org/content/arti...

We analyzed every PubMed publication from 2012-2022 attributed to a #medicalstudent. They increased by 1,329%! But did quality grow too? A thread on publication pressure, perspective pieces, and publication fees #MedEd www.rjmedicine.org/publications...

RJIM launched its first publications. The submissions are rolling in and we need peer reviewers if you can sign up! www.rjmedicine.org/instructions... We’re a 501c3 nonprofit journal where research is shared - not sold. #research #MedSky bsky.app/profile/rjme...

For my fellow #meded enthusiasts who do surveys and assessments, I built a one-stop website to do it all: Build assessments Get responses Analyze psychometrics Calculate statistical differences Host gamified assessments And more... Let me show you the FREE MedEdAssessments.com #MedSky #EMIMCC

mededassessments.com now has two games: Jeopardy and the Conference Cup. The Conference Cup is up to four teams. A host runs the board with 3 questions to choose from. Teams take turns and use QR codes to access game cards for fun and randomness. Free to create, copy, or share! #meded #MedSky

The first RJIM articles are coming out this fall! The submissions are coming in but we need more peer reviewers. Considering signing up, we have paid peer review opportunities open. #meded #research #MedSky www.rjmedicine.org/instructions...
