A med school created an activity where students critique ChatGPT's answers before learning the diseases. Why? It trains critical appraisal skills early, seeing both the potential and limits of AI in care. Clever design in #MedEd. Ref: 10.1007/s40670-025-02444-2

Today I learned that until the 1980s, surgery on infants was often done only with muscle relaxants and NO ANESTHESIA because doctors believed babies couldn't feel pain.

In a team-based learning study, medical students answered clinical cases and then saw ChatGPT’s suggestions. They changed their answers to match with ChatGPT even when it was wrong. Worse: peer discussion didn’t fix it. Critical thinking toward AI outputs is important. #MedEd

AI-generated images helped med students match diagnostic accuracy of real-case training in keratitis. Same 1-hour session, similar improvement, lower resource burden. Images were created using a Stable Diffusion 1.5-based model, fine-tuned for corneal disease.

For those still using and paying for SPSS: consider switching to Jamovi. It's free, open source, simple to use, and has a similar user interface. There’s no logical reason to reject Jamovi, only the force of old habits.

80–90% of physicians go to work sick. Why?. Not just duty, but a culture where rest means weakness. Teach self-care as professionalism, not betrayal. #MedEd

Can ChatGPT evaluate medical residents?. Researchers fed de-identified faculty feedback + milestone rubrics into ChatGPT. Its scores strongly aligned with faculty committees, no gender or length bias. Scalable. Feasible. #MedEd

In a randomized controlled experiment with 187 dental students:. * ChatGPT+video group outperformed their video-only peers in VR skill tests.* Cognitive load halved (pupil dilation 0.31 → 0.14).* Students with low spatial ability saw the biggest gains. AI as an adaptive tutor.

The best theory isn’t the most popular. It’s the one that fits your context. Choose frameworks that explain your real-world challenges in #MedEd, not just the ones everyone else is using.
