Generative AI and the cognitive apprenticeship model for developing clinical reasoning
This post explores how generative AI can support cognitive apprenticeship in developing clinical reasoning skills. Using a structured approach, I show how AI can enhance various aspects of learning, from providing domain knowledge to simulating patient scenarios, ultimately creating a comprehensive framework for AI-assisted clinical education.

I was on the Man & Machine podcast last week
Last week I had a conversation with Ean Bett of the Man & Machine podcast, which we recorded and published. I had a great time talking to Ean about some of the progress we see taking place in clinical AI.

Comment: How do we learn to work with intelligent machines?
I discussed something related to this earlier this year (the algorithmic de-skilling of clinicians) and thought that this short presentation added something extra. It’s not just that AI and machine learning have the potential to create scenarios in which qualified clinical experts become de-skilled over time; they will also impact on our ability to teach…

Translating AI into the clinical setting at UC Irvine – AI Med
Ultimately, many of these shortcomings exist because few if any physicians are actively engaged in developing the next generation of technology, AI or otherwise. It is interesting to note the vast majority of medical startup companies are founded with limited if any physician involvement or oversight.Without experts that deeply understand both the medical and technical…

An introduction to artificial intelligence in clinical practice and education
Two weeks ago I presented some of my thoughts on the implications of AI and machine learning in clinical practice and health professions education at the 2018 SAAHE conference. Here are the slides I used (20 slides for 20 seconds each) with a very brief description of each slide. This presentation is based on a…

Virtual reality in clinical education: A research project outline
I was lucky enough to spend some time chatting with Ben Ellis from Oxford Brookes University, about the possibilities of using VR for clinical education. A decade ago virtual reality was something that only the military and high end research labs could afford. But recently, thanks to initiatives like Google’s Cardboard, Daydream and Jump, pretty good VR experiences…

Physiotherapy in 2050: Ethical and clinical implications
This post describes a project that I began earlier this week with my 3rd year undergraduate students as part of their Professional Ethics module. The project represents a convergence of a few ideas that have been bouncing around in my head for a couple of years and are now coming together as a result of…

Physiotherapy education for the 21st century
Note: This article was first posted on the Critical Physiotherapy Network. Thanks to CPN for permission to cross-post here. The beginning of the 21st century has seen more technological advances than any other time in our history, at an accelerating rate of change. At the time of writing, we are seeing the introduction of robotics,…

Proposal abstract: Training in the ICU for physiotherapy students with a visual impairment (a case study)
Abstract for a project proposal that I submitted for ethics review earlier this week. If it gets approved we’ll begin data collection on our first visually impaired undergraduate student placement in the intensive care unit. The Department of Physiotherapy at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) began accepting students with visual impairments (VI) into…

Developing empathy in clinical education
This post was originally written for the Clinical Teacher iPad app, and can be downloaded there as well. Introduction Empathy is the ability to understand the emotional context of other people and respond to them appropriately. It has been identified as the cornerstone of the clinician-patient relationship and is recognised as one of the most…

Writing for The Clinical Teacher mobile app
I’ve been spending less time on The Clinical Teacher mobile app over the past month or so, having realised that I need to focus on finishing my PhD. Unfortunately, this means that I haven’t been able to put out another article in more than two months. The Clinical Teacher is a mobile reference app (currently…

Workshop on facilitation techniques using the Conversational Framework
How do we get students to think more deeply about learning in an academic context? I’m giving a workshop later today. The idea is that we’ll get all of the facilitators who’ll be working on the module we’re designing (and which I’m evaluating for my PhD) and help them get a grip on the approach…

Challenging students’ conceptual relationships in clinical education
I just wanted to share a thought while preparing our case notes for the Applied Physiotherapy module we’re developing. One of the designers made a note of the “guideline answers” for facilitators to some of the questions that we might use to trigger students’ thinking. I wrote the following as a comment and didn’t want…
