Some paper ideas come quickly. Others take yrs to marinate. This one took about a decade. In our new paper, we argue that for most small #MedEd grants, the math just doesn’t add up: low success rates, high costs ($, opportunity cost), incredibly low ROI 👉 lnkd.in/eNVem4_B

The full paper that makes this case – a case I've been wanting to articulate for more than a decade – is in preparation now... #MedEd

One of the most important claims from our forthcoming paper... "An overreliance on student satisfaction surveys can send the wrong message: that keeping students happy matters more than rigorous education." #MedEd #Satisfaction #Survey

🚨Coming soon in @acadmedjournal.bsky.social‬!🚨 Are we relying too much on student satisfaction #surveys in #MedEd? As someone who loves a good survey (when used appropriately), I lead this call for reform that moves beyond “smile sheets” in evaluations of #teaching and #learning. #accreditation

🧠📱 Just published in NEJM AI, we explore the promise and the perils of using #GenAI to prepare students for OSCEs. #AI can simulate patients, but it can’t replace the cognitive work of becoming a clinician. #MedEd Read more here: doi.org/10.1056/AIe2...

Regression only adjusts for what you measure. In correlational research, unmeasured variables are always lurking. That’s why, in part, correlation ≠ causation—the real cause might be something you didn’t even include in the model. #MedEd #Stats #SurveyDesign

📚 IM residents report spending 10–18 hrs/week on self-directed learning (SDL), w/ seniors leaning into podcasts over textbooks.🩺Despite high clinical demands, SDL remains a core part of training. Time for educators to support it better. #MedEd #GME #IM www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here’s a potentially controversial statement: organizations responsible for bldg #MedEd research & scholarship capacity shld choose a handful of areas they encourage & support, instead of facilitating everyone’s pet project, many of which r half baked. Doing so would result in better research.

More proof that this administration is clueless on pretty much everything they do. Look at this ridiculously flawed rating scale they’re using on the DoD’s “fraud, waste, and abuse survey.” I can just see their ridiculous headlines now, using data from this useless tool… #MedEd

The speed & scale of #GenAI are promising. #AI surfaces answers quickly, fluently, & confidently, sometimes w/o any effort from the learner. Herein lies a major #MedEd paradox: if AI makes learning easier, do students risk missing the very struggles that lead to real learning?

To all my Canadian friends, please know that despite what our Idiot-in-Chief has to say, we LOVE Canada. And we don’t want you to be the 51st state. In fact, at this point, I think I’d rather be a province of Canada! Please also know that the majority of sane Americans feel the same way. ❤️ #MedEd

The hardest #MedEd articles to get published r ur best & ur worst articles. It’s obvious why the worst articles r hard to publish: they’re just bad. But the best articles r hard to get published b/c often times u’re saying something that the field is not ready to hear. So, to you, I say—PERSIST!

By one estimate, PIs spend ~44% of their time APPLYING for grants. This is a problem, as it means that organizations like the NIH are effectively PAYING scientists to APPLY for grants, as opposed to actually DOING science. We can do better... #MedEd
