Are you “fossil-skilling” your students by teaching them stuff that #AI is making obsolete? See this short opinion piece “Artificial Intelligence and Fossil-Skilling in Surgical Education” laurinpublishers.com/Journal…#HPE
The future of AI-integrated healthcare will be shaped by those who take the initiative. Medical educators must guide and train students to lead this transformation now. pmejournal.org/articles/2233…
We must not repeat the mistake of past tech adoptions (looking at you, EHRs 👀). When tech is done to clinicians rather than with them, it results in lost opportunities and frustrated providers. Physicians must take vocal leadership roles in AI integration. #MedEd#AIinMedicine
These pathways are crucial to ensuring AI is built on sound clinical data, validated for safety and equity, and designed to augment clinicians—freeing them to focus on empathy, judgment, and the therapeutic relationship.

Just out in NEJM: Phase 3 data on the new modRNA flu vaccine. 🧪💉
The headline? It showed superior efficacy against Influenza A compared to standard egg-based shots.
Why does this matter for the emerging "K Clade" flu season? Let’s break down the science. 🧵👇
The trial showed the mRNA shot was weaker against Influenza B than traditional shots. Which needs to be explored
Still, getting closer to solving the H3N2 puzzle is a massive public health win.
TL;DR:
1. modRNA flu shot = No egg mutations.
2. Faster manufacturing = Can wait later to pick the best strain match.
3. Better antibodies & T-cells against Flu A.
Science moves fast. This is a big step toward ending the "hit-or-miss" era of flu shots. 🏁
Computer programming can be so helpful for research.
My 10th semester teaching a programming class, with the Medical Research Programming elective being offered for the 3rd time at @CWRUSOM
Thank you to all my students, TAs, and faculty (Drs. Nowacki & @Neil_Mehta)
