If we don't expect medical students to know material WHEN they graduate, should we require them to know it (at least long enough to take a proximal MCQ exam) at some earlier point in their undergraduate education? If the answer is YES, why should they know that material earlier? If the answer is NO, why include that material in the curriculum at all?

'Thank You' cards are my favorite thing ever. They sustain me. I'm so glad to have helped someone on their path. This card filled me up with warm fuzzies after a long day. 🥺💖 I've come to collect 'Thank You's-- one day I aspire to have a whole wall of them in my future office!

I'm so proud of this person!!!!

In a survey of more than 2,000 current and future physicians on social media, we found that most (82.3%) would prefer to work or train in states with preserved abortion access. In fact, more than three-quarters (76.4%) of respondents would not even apply to states with legal consequences for providing abortion care.

Question from staff: how do I know ST elevation on ECG isn’t a STEMI and instead is pericarditis?
1. Distribution of ECG changes. ST elevation across all leads in multiple arterial distributions? Probably not ACS. Unlikely to have LAD and RCA occlude simultaneously.
2. No reciprocal changes. With ACS, I expect ST depression and/or T wave inversion in leads opposite the ones with ST elevation.
3. History. Week of symptoms? Unlikely to be ACS.

I take Hot Epsom salt baths everyday :tonguemsn: physiologically and mentally it is very very relaxing... But I wonder if it's changing any of my pH balance or the biochemistry of my skin? Is there any MDS on here who know anything about the hot salt water baths everyday lol #MedicalEducation #medicalpractice #research #epsomsalt

With enhanced immersive experiences and a more interactive learning environment, the #metaverse is a natural choice for #medicaleducation. 1,800 medical students evaluated the effectiveness of this model in a recent study published on #IEEE Xplore: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9761199

I’m developing a interdisciplinary subject on health ethics and law for law and medical students at the uni and this little light reading arrived today to help me out! I’m very excited. #ethics #health #healthethics #medicalethics #law #healthlaw #philosophy #medicalphilosophy #MedMastodon #medicalleader #leader #womeninleadership #womeninstem #womeninmedicine #womeninlaw #ethicist #polymath #portfolio #career #nerd #book #textbook #reading #teaching #medicaleducation #meded #laweducation #lawed

First written in 1993, excerpts from the preface written for this 2002 edition. Still pertinent and informative twenty years later, this collection of studies on #patiencenteredcare is a great read. In #healthcare for #endometriosis our “precious time [is still wasted]” alongside loss of future quality of life, with a 7-10 year average diagnostic delay that patients attribute, time and again, across study after study, to a lack of #medicaleducation and simple listening.

For all the #MedMastodon folks over here, I vote for #MediFedi as a hashtag. We will be embracing those from every instance & the very spirit of this platform. Many of us are not on med-mastodon, but all of us are part of the fediverse! 
Really want to connect with all medics, Sports Medics, Nurses, ACPs, Pharmacists, Physios, & anyone interested in any medical field. I learned hugely from you over on the bird site! 🙌🏻
