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

Here’s an idea: let’s remove everyone from the administration who went to one of these schools and see if there’s anyone left. I guarantee there wouldn’t be many.
Honestly, if you’re gonna be on a list of top schools, this is a pretty nice list! #MedEd
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."

🚨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.

🧠📱 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

This is super cool, especially if you like images and math... #MedEd

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.

The folks at USU have done a nice job with this little video on how medical students can provide useful feedback on their end-of-course #MedEd evaluations...

📚 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

This approach sounds eerily similar to how Trump approaches his presidency! ;-/
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.
“The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.” —John W. Gardner #MedEd
From my colleague, Jeff Green: “New meta-analysis w/ strong evidence the expertise reversal effect "is a thing." Instructional support really helps low prior knowledge learners & impedes high prior knowledge learners…” #MedEd

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?
Activity is not accomplishment. #MedEd
Better late than never! LOL.
