1/4 Great to hear my former UCLA Internal Medicine Chief Residents 👶UCLA Med-Peds Residency👵 co-resident Matt Stutz, MD hosting this great #MedEd episode. I loved hearing the themes that are common to teaching in any environment, and really respect our colleagues who manage to do this in very high acuity situations!

Glass.health outperforms ChatGPT for radiologic decision-making in this early study.🩺🏥🩻🧠
