Most medical schools in the U.S. mention AI only for plagiarism checks. But almost none address infrastructure, audit, or long-term governance. (in 2024) AI policy is more than cheating. It’s for preparing doctors for a new era of care. Published today in @MedTeachJournal.

"Motivation is rarely a problem with students in the clinical setting. Failure to engage with the student is more likely to be a result of poorly constructed teaching sessions rather than student motivation." #MedEd Ref: 10.1080/01421590802061613

Our Spanish colleagues at @Sedem_ORG always come up with fruitful webinars. This time they hosted @KevinYauy, who is a brilliant researcher in #MedEd, for a demonstration of his AI-based simulation with feedback. It's worth investing 36 minutes (or 18 mins at 2x speed).

Our RCT has been published in Medical Education! Students diagnosed ambiguous vignettes with 2 options. Then, each got ChatGPT’s disagreeing feedback; some with a bold warning ("ChatGPT can make mistakes"), some without. Then, they were allowed to change their decision.…

Educational case reports are static. This study turned them into interactive simulations with LLMs: Out of 210 responses: • 26 added extra but plausible details • 4 omissions (minor tests) • 98% appropriateness. AI can scale #MedEd safely. Good work by @LiamGMcCoy.

Our study published yesterday: We used AI to generate a video (clinical scenario) as a discussion trigger in problem-based learning. 210 students and 104 experts rated the AI-generated video above human-made animation. Human: weeks of effort by many people AI: 40 hours + $20

Yesterday we received an acceptance e-mail, today a minor revision request for another study. People ask me how I can keep up with this pace. Simple: I nearly always work and with a high motivation. Because I love creating work that contributes to others’ knowledge & practice.

Pub🚨 What does #entropy have to do w/ #clinicalreasoning? We answered this Q in the form of a narrative review of 20 studies👇 As a measure & construct of complexity, we can start measuring, modeling, & managing states of pt ambiguity. #microstates link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Just reviewed a paper. It said they ran GPT-5 locally on their GPUs for data sovereignty. The problem is that it is impossible. OpenAI doesn’t permit running GPT-5 locally. If a methods section is counterfactual, the results are already in doubt. Rejected.

Researchers trained frontier AIs to avoid covert misbehavior (sandbagging, sabotage, reward hacking). Training reduced it from 10% to 0.3%. But models also became more aware of being tested. Less scheming, or just better at hiding it? Published a few days ago.

Finally I did it! I just received an email that says our manuscript has been accepted for publication in Medical Education. I've always wanted to come up with a study that could convince Kevin Eva. Glad that I achieved this before he leaves the editor-in-chief role in Jan 2026.

This is a really really important caution for those like me who create apps through AI without knowing how to code. But never let it to prevent you to start creating. Start small, and even small things could provide huge value.

I don’t know how to code. But I built a 24/7 AI web app that makes MCQs, gives instant feedback. I deployed it to our university servers, and ran an open-source LLM to make it free. I was so close, then I needed something I don’t have. Find my full story in my free newsletter.

AI-designed visuals helped learners retain occlusion patterns. Control: traditional ECG diagram. Experiment: diagram + AI mnemonic visuals. After 11 days: * Control recall dropped * Visual group stayed steady #MedEd Ref: 10.3390/technologies13060217

Near-peer teaching pays off. Recenty published study: 5 yrs of med school data comparing near-peer tutors vs non-tutors. Findings: Tutor students had * Higher diploma & state-exam scores * Fewer passive semesters * Biggest gains for low preclinical GPA

I see some #MedEd AI papers showcase complex workflows, like adding files, checks, layers, to signal they’re doing an "important" job. But as models improve, that complexity matters less. The real value is simple, well-targeted apps that solve 1 problem brilliantly.

Every teaching session in #MedEd is precious. A group of young minds chose to spend their limited time with you; learning, guided, facilitated. We owe it to them to prepare deeply. Their time is a gift. Our preparation is how we honor it.
