  • My new favourite podcast

    Interesting and informed discussion about well-chosen research, with clear criteria applied, reasoned views, and just enough banter to keep it from feeling like a lecture.

  • Not just for medics! 😄

    Love this podcast. I’m a physio but find the papers really relevant and transferable. Great format for reviewing academic literature and makes the methods sections accessible to newbie researchers like me! Can’t recommend enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 Summer Rewind #4
Q: What one piece of practical advice would you give junior faculty or residents on navigating the hidden curriculum?
Practice kindness and patience, be mindful of the messages you convey about other specialties, and recognize that many day-to-day clinical environments are where most learning happens, not just formal curricula.
2026 Summer Rewind #4
Q: How can medical educators address the hidden curriculum at a systems level?
By naming and defining it, embedding it into accreditation standards, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration, and addressing broader cultural messages that influence learner perceptions and career choices.
2026 Summer Rewind #4
Q: What is the hidden curriculum in medicine and can you give an example from your own careers?
The hidden curriculum encompasses the unwritten lessons, values, and behaviors that shape how trainees think and act; examples include offhand comments about career paths that discourage certain specialties and signals about what is valued in a field.
2026 Summer Rewind #3
Q: How optimistic should we be about AI's role in medical education, and what signs support that view?
The guest expresses high optimism, citing increases in creativity and productivity with AI, evidence of AI enabling precision education, and the potential for adaptive teaching approaches. However, he emphasizes caution, equity, and the need for careful implementation to avoid amplifying disparities or introducing new errors.
2026 Summer Rewind #3
Q: What are the main risks of AI in medical education, such as de-skilling and mis-skilling, and how can we mitigate them?
Risks include de-skilling (skill decay from overreliance on AI), never-skilling (not acquiring fundamental skills if AI handles core tasks), and mis-skilling (AI biases or wrong judgments becoming integrated into reasoning). Mitigation involves strengthening core competencies first, teaching critical thinking and evidence appraisal, and using DEFT AI to structure supervision so learners remain engaged and able to validate AI outputs.
