Enjoyed workshops I was involved in “Zen and the Art of GP” with Dom Patterson & “A debate: Artificial Intelligence will herald the death of critical thinking in family medicine education” with the Bled course team. Sneaked in a poster on @sypcwth.bsky.social VR/AI consultation skills sessions

It was great to have a med student delivering a keynote “Do I still need you, Professor?” to help us understand and reflect on the asymmetry between learners and faculty on digital and how students are using tech to enhance their learning

Had a couple of interactions in last couple of weeks (one with @amcunningham.bsky.social ) which reminded me how much I used to like the bird place so I thought I’d try dropping in here a bit. So hello! I have a new puppy
