Brendan P Mackey, MD I’m so thankful for everyone who helped me to reach this point. Excited for the next four in the same city we started!

I am thrilled to share that I matched into anesthesiology residency at the University of Pennsylvania! #match2025

An abstract from our team, “Impact of Veno-Pulmonary ECMO on Mortality and End-Organ Dysfunction in ARDS Patients Receiving Veno-Venous ECMO: A Retrospective Cohort Study”, recently published in Anesthesia & Analgesia, pages 241-242. https://t.co/QFjHkEfJQJ

At ASA presenting “Veno-Pulmonary (VP) ECMO in Pulmonary Hypertension: Exploring Concerns of Hemorrhage” #ANES24

I’m at ASA presenting “Preoperatively Placed Percutaneous RVAD in Durable LVAD Surgery for Transition From Cardiopulmonary Bypass” this morning #ANES24

In Baltimore this weekend presenting “Complications Associated with Percutaneous Pulmonary Artery Cannulas: A Retrospective Analysis” at the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs conference #ASAIO2024

I’m happy to share that our abstract “Complications Associated with Percutaneous Pulmonary Artery Cannulas: A Retrospective Analysis” has been published in ASAIO journal (pages 113-114). https://t.co/2rH52sPQgY

In our analysis, we found discrepancies in AI performance in the specialties assessed on the USMLE Step 2 examination. At this time, we recommend use with caution as a form of clinical curriculum support. https://t.co/7UwmrBFznp

Great conversations about #MedEd in our round table discussion this afternoon at #AERA2024. We presented our research titled “The Future of Medical Education: ChatGPT-4 as a Tutor for the USMLE Step 1 Examination”.

For my friends also interested in anesthesiology, this series started today and has been super informative. Highly recommend it!

In our study, AI answered 1300 USMLE Step 1 style questions with 86% accuracy. It surpassed student performance and was able to provide both analogies and explanations to answer choices at a desired level of education. Is this the future of online tutors? https://t.co/307p6s5hKa

In this report, we present a male with SCT/obesity and no other risk factors, who developed PE despite low pretest probability on several risk stratification tools. The case supports recent studies that propose an increased risk of VTE in these patients. https://t.co/lVD3KOlTHz

Come check out our presentation at USC Keck School of Medicine's Innovations in Medical Education Conference. In this presentation, we cover how AI performs on clinical shelf exam questions and its limitations as a supplemental resource for clinical education.

Come check out our presentation at USC Keck School of Medicine's Innovations in Medical Education Conference. In this presentation, we cover how AI performs on USMLE Step 1 and discuss how it can be leveraged to enhance medical student performance on the examination.

If you can’t make a donation, retweeting my post and spreading the word about Legacy of Hope’s mission is just as appreciated and helps us to make this happen. See you on the steps.

If it’s within your means, please consider making a donation to my page at the link in bio to help Legacy of Hope purchase and renovate a home for cancer patients and their families in need.

No family should lose their home because a loved one has cancer. I’ll be running the Rocky Steps for 24 consecutive hours this September in support of cancer patients here in Philadelphia…

I’m excited to share that I’ve passed my first medical licensing exam. Looking forward to starting clinicals next month! #step1
