This week when I lead a faculty development workshop* I'll ask participants to consider their readiness to make use of social media.

"But should all social determinants be treated with equal concern? In other words, are certain determinants more important than others in influencing the health of populations?"

"The two major products of clinical decision making are diagnoses and treatment plans. If the first is correct, the second has a greater chance of being correct too. Surprisingly, we don't make correct diagnoses as often as we think: the diagnostic failure rate is estimated to be 10 to 15%. "

"This study indicates that, even though third-year students may have adequate general interviewing skills, they may need additional training and practice in obtaining contextual information about patients in all clinical settings. These findings also suggest that the gender of the patient, as well as gender concordance between patient and student, play a role in student-patient interactions."

" It is essential to set clear expectations for professional behavior with faculty and residents.

Faculty should note and address systems problems that unintentionally reinforce and thus enable unprofessional behavior. "

"The curriculum introduces a simple, stepwise framework for delivering high-value care and focuses on teaching trainees to incorporate high-value, cost-conscious care principles into their clinical practice.

"Many would agree that for inquiry to be alive and well in a classroom that, amongst other things, the teacher needs to be expert at asking strategic questions, and not only asking well-designed ones, but ones that will also lead students to questions of their own. "

"Now it seems that there are at least three ways in which a member of an audience can participate in a medical lecture while not closely listening to to it. They are the following: (1) browsing and digesting the lecture PowerPoint file that I will assume has been made available on-line prior to the lecture; (2) submitting tweet comments or questions about the lecture that could be collected by a lecture monitor, as suggested above by Mike, and presented to the lecturer during discussion periods; and (3) browsing the web"
