Emergency Physician. I believe that great education makes great clinicians, and great clinicians take great care of patients.

4/4 Certainly not perfect, but a great way to brainstorm, extend our memory, and make AI useful on shift!

Been messing around with ChatGPT for custom applications for a while now, check out EM ResQ - an on shift quick reference made for fundamental EM knowledge. It's free to use, with a ChatGPT account. 1/

@jasonryanmd It’s a massive problem in modern undergrad med Ed. IMO shifting the focus from foundational time spent honing clinical skills to largely inconsequential research

Saw this on IG. Is this correct? How can you complete medical school while also generating 37 publications?

@jasonryanmd Anki is great for memorization of facts. As we move past this most basic level of knowledge as our training progresses, flashcard tools have diminishing returns. Hard to learn the critical clinical approach to shock through flash cards, for instance.
English
Looks like Anki is a lot less popular with residents/fellows/attendings compared to medical students.
Jason Ryan@jasonryanmd
I am aware that medical students use Anki frequently to help them remember medical school concepts. How much are residents/fellows using Anki to remember advanced topics in their fields?

@DGlaucomflecken @VPrasadMDMPH Keep fighting the good fight brother.

@VPrasadMDMPH apparently you don't understand insurance either x.com/DutchRojas/sta…

I appreciate your medical expertise and insights! Let me share something crucial from 25 years in healthcare finance. Most physicians I've worked with haven't been exposed to the coverage side of healthcare - and that knowledge could really strengthen private practices and physician-owned hospitals. Quick breakdown on how coverage works: Yes, denials DO generate revenues. Here's why: • Carriers must spend 80-85% on patient care (except self-funded plans) • Each denied claim helps them hit these ratios and generate revenues. • PBMs aren't bound by these rules, so drug denials = revenues. Different rules for different plans: - Individual/small group: 80% to care - Large group/Medicare Advantage: 85% to care - Self-funded employer plans: Different system entirely Self-funded plans are interesting - the TPAs generate fees by processing claims, not denying them. Understanding this side of healthcare isn't just about business - it's about being better equipped to serve patients and run sustainable practices.

I see people are retweeting this in the wake of the assassination. That's in poor taste. Glaucomflecken is not actually a student of health policy. He doesn't understand insurance. Denying coverage does not increase their profits. That idea may have gotten someone murdered. Sad

@AhmadRehanKhan Dr. Sattar is an absolute legend. One of the greatest educators in modern Med Ed!

Ever been frustrated by the excuse, “Sorry, it’s against hospital policy” when you needed to do something important to help someone? Well, we solved that. Get your hospital to adopt the Policy to Override Policies!

So often folks miss this step and just shoot off some X-rays from the waiting room. Doppler if you have it, ultrasound if not. Also remember to check proximal pulses as the problem can be higher.

@studentdrdemon I mean I think there’s a lot of reasons why, including the by product of the academic-industrial complex. I also think making Step 1 pass/fail just open the door for new, pointless standards of competition.
English
@k_walnation3 @jasonryanmd Of course there is a thing as too much info, and I think that can be solved by not having PhDs forced to teach at med schools because of grants and academic appointments. But I do believe this knowledge is what separates physicians and has enabled 100 years of progress.
English
@skobner @jasonryanmd The same. MD learns more breadth as well as more depth. But there is such thing as too much depth, which is what is currently being asked of MDs at the student level. Way too much specialty specific of PhD specific information is being passed onto them.
English
I'm updating the cardiology videos for Boards and Beyond and I feel so badly for you medical students out there who have to learn all this minutiae for Step exams. It really is crazy that the test requires EVERY medical student to memorize super granular details about the heart that are not clinically relevant. I hope someone fixes this test someday. It's really nuts in its current form.
English
@k_walnation3 @jasonryanmd I respectfully disagree—it should be different. The MD is a scientific doctorate. It represents a full scope understanding of the underpinnings of clinical care—to empower physicians to lead clinical teams with a strong foundation in the biological sciences.
English
@skobner @jasonryanmd We know that it acts on the glucagon receptor to bypass the beta blockade, therefore it treats the patient and makes them better. Anything beyond that can be left for specialization and PhDs. It’s entirely superfluous info for a medical student.
English
@jasonryanmd @k_walnation3 Then again—-that’s how we know glucagon works in beta blocker overdose. I don’t know, this is the basic info that separates MDs from all other healthcare providers. It’s the info the provided the basis for understanding and future innovation

What’s your move?
Seems like every single time I purchase a service they need payment after the job is done.
