Take an opportunity to download a few AI apps and see what they do. Use AI in place of a regular search engine. Ask it to edit a piece of your writing and read its suggestions. Have it compile a study sheet for a complex issue. ow.ly/cRWc50Rn9Kq

🚨Our new paper on how instructors can use AI to create research-based experiences that would have been impossible to do before the advent of generative AI.

We also teach how to build them.

INSPIRE UTI: CPOE prompts promoting standard-spectrum antibiotics for patients at low risk of MDROs significantly reduced empiric extended-spectrum antibiotic use in hospitalized patients with UTI by 17.4% (without increasing ICU transfers or LOS) jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

INSPIRE Pneumonia: CPOE prompts promoting standard-spectrum antibiotics for patients at low risk of MDROs significantly reduced empiric extended-spectrum antibiotic use in hospitalized patients with pneumonia by 28.4% #SHEASpring2024 jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

We have come to learn a lot about how we learn, but students often rely on outdated study techniques.

Here's the results of a large meta-analysis on learning. Skip highlighting, summarizing & rereading. Instead, practice, quiz & explain (AI can quiz you). journals.sagepub.com/stoken/rbtfl/Z…

Inspired by a trio of outstanding MGH/BWH Infectious Diseases Fellowship, I'm writing about the antibiotic we love to hate, and hate to love -- vancomycin.

Very hard to justify it in the outpatient setting, where there are almost always safer and more convenient alternatives. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…
