Excited to share our new perspective in @JSurgEduc on design thinking - a problem solving framework based on understanding people's pain points, not rejecting early ideas, and using experimentation over intuition to advance them. Such a framework has the potential to significantly advance surgical research and QI - especially in fields such as education where the risk of trying new things is relatively low. This technique is already being practiced at a handful of Surgical Innovations programs across the country like @UCSFSurgInnov. By incorporating it into General Surgery training, we can turn every resident who is frustrated with the challenges of modern surgical training into a potential innovator who can solve them.

@blader @sama @OpenAI Have been testing deep research on medical questions requiring searching pubmed papers. Would be interested in anyway to do this as well

@growing_daniel The post you quoted reminds me of the “get your government hands off my Medicare” crowd 🤡🤡🤡

@Afinetheorem How are you getting the output formatted into LaTeX?

@markchen90 Really cool! Is there a straightforward way to copy the output report into markdown or LaTeX?

@Joshua_Roshal @Abedeanda @TomVargheseJr @UTMBSurgery @UTMB_CTSurgery @SurgEdFellows Do you have a recording?

@MatthewNehsMD @Joshua_Roshal We are excited that journals like @GSE_JASE are starting to incorporate preprints into the peer review workflow. More on preprints here: @Joshua_Roshal @CaitSilvestri @JoeLHuillier101 @connieygan1

@AnnalsofSurgery Is there any restriction in place currently that stops programs from implementing the suggested policies, if they want to?

@mededdoc @mpusic Is the talk recorded or publicly available?

@SurgEdFellows Agreed, but need to have the opportunities to do the latter

It is reasonable that program directors want a useful data point to help distinguish among an increasingly large pool of candidates with limited time and resources. However, the data point in question (ABSITE scores) is one that @AmBdSurg explicitly states should not be used summatively and there is not sufficient validity evidence to suggest that it can distinguish applicants' readiness for fellowship. Data points are useful, but only if we can confidently say they measure what we intend them to. More here:

@SurgEdFellows @BehindTheKnife @AmBdSurg Thanks for highlighting!

@ColumbiaSurgery Congratulations @YangNaYoungK!!

Congratulations @CaitSilvestri and team!!

"This endorsement will not be controversial to Trump’s antagonists. Nor will it matter to his supporters. But to the voters who don’t much care for either candidate, and who will decide the country’s fate, it is not enough to list Harris’s strengths or write a bill of obvious particulars against Trump. The main reason for those ambivalent Americans to vote for Harris has little to do with policy or partisanship. It’s this: Electing her and defeating him is the only way to release us from the political nightmare in which we’re trapped and bring us to the next phase of the American experiment."

@gogo_gopss @MonicaDuaMD @DevJoshi_27 @jessicazagory @DrPandalai @AsianAcadSurg @shao_connie @drvikasdudeja @dreskim Thanks for inviting me! Was a great and informative session. I learned a lot from the other panelists.

@mededdoc @VipsMDMEd @JoeLHuillier101 @JournalofGME @debsimpson3 That’s a great idea, we will prepare something. And we would welcome a counter-argument piece as well. Our ideas may not necessarily be right but we agree that some debate would help improve the status quo for researchers!

@mededdoc @VipsMDMEd @JoeLHuillier101 and I wrote this piece on IRB over regulation but we are having trouble getting it accepted anywhere.
