Revamping Medical Simulation Training for Future Physicians
With improvements in software and materials, training simulations are increasing rapidly in sophistication. This article, in part about Penn State and Cedars-Sinai program, but covering a lot of material about current applications of simulation training, and measures of effectiveness, is interesting.
Our favorite story on simulation is the course author we took to dinner, who talked at high volume for most of dinner about a new colonoscopy training device he was working on, and just…wouldn’t…quit. Before inviting simulation researchers to dinner, establish some conversational ground rules.

Patients Are More Comfortable with AI Making Diagnoses than Answering the Phone at Their Doctor’s Office
This is an odd one, an article promoting indirectly a research piece Bain & Company. It doesn’t really say why patients would accept a diagnosis from an AI, but fear the AI answering the phone. We can answer that one - the AI sounds immediate, concerned and authoritative, even when it’s not.
Not a lot of provider feedback on actual implementations, because there are few out there yet. Some AI’s are doing a good job (with some post-training) at patient follow-up care information, and general patient follow-up. There’s plenty of text-based chatbots for handling appointments and prescription questions or renewals (at least to the point of generating a message inside the practice). It’s too early to trust them unattended with diagnostic or sensitive information.
Probably because we keep calling them AI’s (and they aren’t) we’re both overstating applicability, and missing the strengths they bring to medical practice.
