"[Medical] students who graduated in 2020 experienced 4 doublings in [all medical] knowledge. What was learned in the first 3 years of med school is just 6% of what is known. Knowledge is expanding faster than our ability to assimilate and apply it."pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC31…

"Despite 2 decades w the work-hour restriction model, many residency programs continue to struggle w hour restrictions. This study suggests that Lean methodology was effective in addressing complex challenges in surgical education." - Christopher A. Longhurst, MD et al jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

"Security reqs for medical data often preclude use of cloud-based GPT models, & fine-tuning them requires enormous resources. For extracting adverse events from medical text, BERT models balance computational efficiency w task suitability." UTokyo | 東京大学 nature.com/articles/s4174…

"Retrieval Augmented Generation-enhanced LLM successfully incorporated external domain-specific information from current evidence-based guidelines... into a tool that may be used to support surgical decision-making." Yale Surgery Yale Computer Science nature.com/articles/s4174…

"Implementation [of PMEG] outside non-trial settings should be closely monitored such that they are held to the same standard. This begs the question: who is responsible for such oversight?" - Adam W. Beck; fascinating study by Sara Zettervall Caitlin Hicks MD, MS jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Proposed method for better radiologist-AI collaboration from Pranav Rajpurkar Julián Nicolás Acosta et al: "AI-generated [radiology report] drafts can meaningfully accelerate radiology reporting while maintaining diagnostic accuracy." arxiv.org/abs/2412.12042

"The blizzard of surgeries-in-name-only is a symptom of a system that has long valued procedures far more than intellectual work in its payments to medical providers." - Elisabeth Rosenthal

"Advances in LLMs have stretched regulatory structures to their limits, exposing a patchwork of solutions that do not fully encompass the nuances of these models." New EQUATOR Network guideline for biomedical applications of LLMs by Danielle Bitterman, MD et al: nature.com/articles/s4159…

"AlphaZero starts out knowing only the rules of chess. In just a few hrs, it plays more games against itself than in human chess history. It quickly becomes strong enough to defeat the best chess-playing entities in the world." - Garry Kasparov science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

"LLMs perform notably worse in conversational settings compared to [MCQs]. This highlights the need for more realistic testing approaches before LLMs can be integrated into clinical workflows." - Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD Pranav Rajpurkar et al in Nature Medicine nature.com/articles/s4159…

"While the field aims to reduce physician administrative burden," what are the implications of constantly having to proofread/double-check AI output on physician cognitive burden & liability? NEJM AI Mayo Clinic ai.nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

"Shouldn't we be comparing outcomes achieved w patient use of AI against outcomes of our current PCP-depleted system?...How can trials be organized such that pts, not clinicians, are the 1st locus of expert decision making?" Brilliant points by Isaac Kohane nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Come check out all our resident and med student presenters at SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! this week! ☀️🎤 Mic to the doctor! (In the words of CTTrankiem)

In this month's American College of Surgeons Bulletin, Caroline Park MD, MPH Tyler Loftus Dan Hashimoto, MD MS FACS Gabriel Brat GenevieveMeltonMeaux & I consider how generative AI might change surgical practice - intraoperative support, large scale clinical data extraction, etc - & unsolved challenges like regulation.

The transformative potential of #generativeAI is poised to reshape several fields, including surgical care. Learn about the vital role surgeons will play in evaluating and guiding the adoption and implementation of this powerful technology. facs.org/for-medical-pr…
