Better USMLE score, better patient outcomes. Yet Schools of Pharmacy can't get individual NAPLEX scores. Just imagine what we can demonstrate (or may not) if we had them! The Associations Between United States Medical Licensing... : Academic Medicine journals.lww.com/academicmed…

When tackling a tough problem, we often rely on past experiences. Does easily remembering solutions lead us to overestimate our abilities? In my latest paper, retrieval fluency made people feel prepared for crises like shark attacks and plane crashes. 1/7 tinyurl.com/5xsa4t3d

"An introvert, his first lecture terrified him. 'I never sweated more in my life—but it wasn’t terrible.' Over time, teaching became a passion. 'I got to know the students…I got to talk about stuff I really loved talking about." @UNCPharmacy sits down with @AdamPersky, recipient of the 2023 AACP Robert K. Chalmers Distinguished Pharmacy Educator Award, to better get to know the expert. carolinapharmacy.org/2023/11…

The importance of prior knowledge.
In 1731 King Frederick I of Sweden was gifted a lion, one of the first lions in Scandinavia. When the lion died shortly after, it was given to a taxidermist and this was the end product. The taxidermist and the museum keepers had never actually seen a lion before, and did not know how they were supposed to look. As a result, the resulting mount was especially anatomically inaccurate, most apparent in its face.

When working memory is taxed metacognitive monitoring suffers. Another reason to be aware of the cognitive load we are imposing on students. doi.org/10.1037/xlm0001262
