John W. Patton III, MD, MBA

Of all the high points in my life thus far, being accepted into med school when counselors gave me low odds, obtaining my MD/MBA, getting baptized, being married, passing my boards… nothing compares to witnessing the birth of my son JPIV on Father’s Day. instagram.com/p/CQcjzy4B-V_/…

Mentorship is critical to medical education. From boosting career success to providing emotional support and fostering identity, strong mentor-mentee relationships benefit both students and faculty. Read: doi.org/10.1097/01.ASM… @OdmaraBarreto @UCSFAnesthesia

Streamers and YouTubers rank as top career choices for Gen Z. Making sure they know they can be Doctors too. #representationmatters “You can’t be, what you can’t see.” Doctors Back to School at Kipp Charter @ASALifeline #ANES25

AI may simulate the language of clinical reasoning, it may speak the Language of clinical reasoning, but it does not replicate the process of clinical reasoning . Clinical reasoning is not the probabilistic completion of the next most likely token; it is the iterative process of weighing the strength of evolving evidence, experience, and consequences that transforms data into what we call Evidence Based Medicine and clinical judgement. Do not conflate linguistic confidence with expertise. This is fluency masquerading as comprehension #cmgsays

As AI reshapes the field, well-being science must inform how we assess and govern these tools to realize benefits and minimize harm. (👏🏻 to Longsdale et al for the fantastic ARC report) Our latest 👇🏻 journals.lww.com/anesthesiology… @_Anesthesiology @UCLAAnes
