Medical education has to change. The future of medical education will emphasize adaptability and patient-centered care, integrating technologies like AI and VR and focusing on data analytics, interdisciplinary collaboration, and lifelong learning. #MedEd #HealthXPh

My last thought for the evening... May we always find fulfillment, and the energy to share our experiences with those who can also teach us. Have a great Saturday, everyone! #healthxph

We have a couple of minutes before 10PM...any final thoughts on the topic? #healthxph

I experienced a sense of stagnation and dullness in the semesters that I wasn't teaching. Sure, I had more time (or the semblance of it), but it felt unfulfilling. I am excited to teach again. #healthxph

T3. I remember a mentor who emphasized that we shouldn't be doing just plain work in the clinics with patients all the time, she taught that it was essential that we also taught students, as it keeps us young, and helps us to recalibrate ourselves. It keeps us, "fresh". #healthxph

Teaching keeps your mind alert! The opportunity to reach young minds hopefully makes up for minutes lost in traffic. #healthxph

Truth be told, it is one of the highlights of the teaching hour ma'am...you want to give them that moment, because that is emotional involvement (and that equals better learning!). #healthxph

T3 is up! :-) This is the last topic of the series for tonight, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. (Quote tweet and add #healthxph to join!)

When classes conflict with meetings and patient emergencies, it's a problem. I'm glad technology provides solutions for this like asynchronous sessions, video lectures and assignments on LMS. #healthXPH

T2. Making instructional materials requires careful thought and preparation, which is an added load to the work of a clinician. However, if we want to really prepare medical students for their exposure to the specialty and to encourage more applicants, we need to hustle. #healthxph

T2. My current teaching schedule is one hour three times a week for a few weeks, but it needs to be managed well, logistically, after all, the school is a bit of a distance and is on an hour where traffic in the city is pretty congested. #healthxph

T2 is up! Quote tweet, and add #healthxph to participate!

Keep the T1 notes coming, but we're starting with T2. next! #healthxph

Hello Jim! Cebu was badly hit. People have not really bounced back from the earthquake yet, and the typhoon Tino hit with storm surge and floods within the metropolis with many houses swept away. #HealthXPH We are still distributing relief goods, and it's still raining outside :-(

T1. It is a rarity to have someone want to be aspire to go into the field of mental health, so in lectures, it sometimes feels like running an "ad" for a specialty that attracts few. Getting them interested, hopefully gets people to consider the specialty. #healthxph

T1. In Psych classes, which I teach, I always like to wander around the classroom, asking questions. It amuses me that students pay more attention with proximity and getting actively asked during lectures. They respond less to a straight lecture, but would rather hear about cases. #healthxph

T1 is up! Quote tweet and post your ideas, adding #healthxph to participate!

Let's get the ball rolling! :-) Topic one coming up! #healthxph

Good evening #Healthxph fam and friends! Welcome to another Saturday night Chat! This is Steph, from Dumaguete, Philippines, moderating the chat. How’s everyone? I’ll be tackling teaching and being a lifelong learner tonight with you! Who is online?

For tonight’s topic on the #Healthxph chat, we’ll be doing #MedEd, with the following topics. I’m hosting tonight. See you fam and friends! “The Healthcare Worker as an Educator: Teacher and Lifelong Learner” 1/4

Hello #healthxph fam and friends! We’re currently on leave for this week due to personal matters. We’ll be back tomorrow! Your host next week, Steph

Thanks for tonight's tweetchat @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social and thank you for the topic @bonedocph.bsky.social Let's get enough sleep so that we can think straight and plan well. Have a great weekend! #healthXPH

T3. Shorter hours for trainees was a controversial topic back then, and I think it still might be now. However, we need to really focus on the physiologic matter of how it might be more prudent to keep 24 hour schedules to 24 hours, and give fair scheduling to residents. #healthxph

T2. With improved sleep comes more energy and sharper thinking. So yes, we really must make ways to get regular hours when we can. In training, when off duty, one can prioritize sleeping as part of improved performance. In practice, it should be the same, non-necessities to be minimal. #healthxph

T1. I would agree, definitely. For one thing, lacking sleep puts one into a foul mood, and in a line of work where "unconditional positive regard" for the patient is a necessity, one can be poorly performing as a therapist this way. #healthxph

T1. I remember many times during training when i would fall into microsleep while writing out prescriptions. That was embarrassing... when I read it out, I couldn't even understand my own handwriting. #healthxph

T1: Is There a Correlation or Causation Between Sleep and Physician Performance and Health Outcomes? Quote and add #healthxph to your tweet to participate!

Let’s go to T1.! T1: Is There a Correlation or Causation Between Sleep and Physician Performance and Health Outcomes?

Sleep Deprivation is a risk to patient safety! #HealthXPH

Dr. @bonedocph.bsky.social ‘s article is really worth the read, it talks so eloquently about how sleep deprivation is a very big problem in healthcare workers. #healthxph

I say this with all the love ...

remomd.com/when-healers... Join us tonight! #healthxph

Good evening #Healthxph fam and friends! I’ll be hosting tonight’s chat! I’m stepping in for @bonedocph.bsky.social. Who is online? :) we’ve got a great topic for tonight! 😊

su.edu.ph/su-to-launch... I found this article very recently, when I was invited to do a reading from Vital Signs, by a writing mentor, Prof. Marjorie Evasco. What a fun afternoon that was. I read a short story on the Duwende, as a physician.

Thanks for this, Doc Remo! #healthxph

T3. I miss the early days of Twitter talaga. Because I speak at conferences a lot, now it's meeting those who come up to you after a talk. Attending meetings and sending an email afterwards if another person's thoughts resonates with yours. #healthxph

And that ends our hour! Thank you everyone for joining tonight’s discussion! @endocrinewitch.bsky.social @bonedocph.bsky.social @helenvmadamba.bsky.social @jkatzaman.bsky.social Have a great weekend! #healthxph

T3 Personal connections work best, often gotten through referrals, which start connections with a foundation of mutual trust. In sales, this is called working with your warm market. Initial barriers are already broken down, helping a free exchange of ideas. #HealthXPh

T3. Ma’am Iris did a lecture one time on social media and it was so inspiring that I couldn’t help but ask a question… and eventually I found myself working with her on #healthxph projects. Who would’ve thought! 😃 I have learned so much from #healthxph through the years. #healthxph

T3. Social networking seem to work for me to initiate connections, but face to face networking often solidifies that connection or is important if you are coming out with new ideas. #Healthxph

T3. If someone is lecturing and teaching something that I find very interesting, I usually have a question to ask… because I feel that this is always the best because it was something that was said in particular that piques my interest, and that leads to eventually a learning connection #healthxph

T3. Is up next! Quote tweet and then add #healthxph to your tweet!

Throughout the pandemic, I learned that Cebuanos are ready to help when asked. Whatever we lacked in the hospital, we would ask and somebody from our networks would respond to help. When you're really down at your lowest point, that's the time you realize that you're not alone at all. #HealthXPH

T2. From a connectivist standpoint, it follows that one should be adept at curating, archiving, facilitating, creating or forming new info sets to push learning. All of these skills rest on one very important megaskill- active listening. #Healthxph

"weak ties" or those that have loose or indirect connections often have that best opportune for learning. #Healthxph

T2. I learned that you always get help, if you learn to be comfortable enough to ask them.Everyone has the value of experience that you may or may not have and this is always going to help you. Also, i learned a lot of life lessons from people much younger and it has helped me to connect.#healthxph

T2. I learned from those older than me how to navigate one's career as it changes. Those younger challenge me to think differently. When they ask me questions, I sometimes gain insight in my own answers. Why did I answer that way? #healthxph

T1. A lot of what I do in my practice now has been source out from a diverse network of info sets, not just med school, training. #Healthxph

T2 is up next!! #healthxph
