Trying to write a better prompt for #ChatGPT #Gemini #Claude or another #LLM? New arXiv paper shares evidence-based principles of #PromptEngineering. Novel #PICCO prompt framework + review of techniques & security, privacy, bias, trust. Read it: arxiv.org/abs/2604.14197 #MedEd #AI

Can #AI help with #qualitative data analysis? Absolutely! but it's complicated. This article discusses promises, pitfalls, and a variety of approaches. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40560241/ #CAQDAS #QDA #MedEduc #LLMs

How do physicians develop "wisdom" (#phronesis)? This qualitative study explored how surgeons develop ability to combine knowledge + technical skill to make wise clinical decisions. #MedEduc #medicaldecisionmaking #clinicalreasoning authors.elsevier.com/c/1lJme90L-3I9X

LLM-powered virtual patients + tailored feedback = high authenticity, high quality #feedback. Low-cost, scalable, open-source. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39854611/. #virtualpatient #simulation #meded #medsim #clinicalreasoning #AI #LLM

Virtual patients using large language models: scalable, global, low cost. #virtualpatient #meded #ArtificialIntelligence #clinicalreasoning tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

How to train & assess clinicians' #ECG interpretation skill: 2 systematic reviews journals.lww.com/academicmedici… + journals.lww.com/academicmedici…; also general insights on assessment (sampling, scoring, bias) #MedEd

Does #CPD continuing professional development to improve prescribing save costs? Systematic review says Yes, with caveats. Biggest expense is time. ja.ma/3IP7nEn #CME #meded #educationcost

Management reasoning is diagnostic reasoning's neglected sibling: more complex & arguably more important. Multiple solutions, shared decisions, monitoring. closler.org/clinical-reaso… #meded #clinicalreasoning

How do clinicians manage uncertainty? Ilgen explores uncertainty, ambiguity, comfort, confidence in clinical decision-making. rdcu.be/baMpW #clinicalreasoning #meded

How to optimize self-regulated #learning? Instructor supports help, like practice schedule, #learninggoals, #motivation, #feedback. This RCT suggests areas for future research rdcu.be/bav7D. #meded

Is management reasoning a different animal than diagnostic reasoning? JAMA article ja.ma/2rKo6Ds. Key differences and a research agenda. #meded #clinicalreasoning #diagnosticreasoning
