    #69 – Three Years to MD: Does It Measure Up?

    In this episode, we’re diving into the age-old question: is a three-year medical school program just as good as the traditional four-year track? The researchers compared the residency performance of graduates from both programs and found no significant differences, suggesting that you might not need that extra year after all—unless you’re really keen on more electives!

    #68 - Medical Educators are Medical Educators, right?
    Oct 8 2024
    #68 - Clinician educators may have similar training content-wise, but the application of that training in widely varied contexts can lead to different outcomes in the stature, roles and recognition of educators. Faculty development initiatives should be co-developed and context sensitive.
