Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment
This study takes a first step in centering the margins as we as medical educators grow our understanding of the dynamics of promoting fairness in assessment. Future studies should explore feedback with intentional inclusion and involvement of diverse students, teachers, and researchers at every stage of the research process from conceptualization through dissemination and application of the new learning. We thank our participants for their time and candor discussing this sensitive topic and the Group on Educational Affairs for funding our work. Thank you for your time and attention and the focus that you’ll put on th...

Bridging the Representation Gap in Biomedical Research
“We hope that students come out of our program feeling like they’re part of a community. Many of us feel inadequate or struggle in some way during graduate school—it can be a challenging time. I want to build a community that our students can always come back to for support,” says Elana Ehrlich, Ph.D., the co-director of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program (B2D) at Towson University in Towson, Maryland, alongside Michelle Snyder, Ph.D..
The Towson B2D is one of several NIGMS-supported B2Ds, which are dedicated to developing a diverse pool of well-trained biomedical scientists who will transiti...

Public Schools Can ’t Force Employees to Support Ideas They Oppose
Thomas A. Berry andNicholas DeBenedettoIn the Fall of 2020, public schools in Springfield, Missouri implemented mandatory “equity” training. All employees of the school district were required to attend a session, not just teachers. The employees were told that if they did not participate, the school district would dock their pay and they could lose necessary professional development credit.The training topics included “Oppression, White Supremacy, and Systemic Racism” and tools on “how to become Anti‐Racist educators.” Training sessions included several interactive exercises that required participants to ...

Me And My Digital Twin: I Have A Brand New Deepfake Avatar
I’ve previously written about the impending era of deep fake medical videos and how to spot if you’re talking to a deep fake physician (or a digital avatar) instead of a flash-and-bone one. As we discussed back then, synthetic healthcare workers will arrive eventually, as the number of missing doctors, nurses and other medical personnel will only increase globally in the coming decades.
It was also widely discussed on our platforms that with the rapid development of various AI algorithms, we can soon find ourselves in a situation where dealing with a medical AI chatbot will provide less risk than waiting f...
