Health professions education is at a crossroads. We are living in exponential times using linear methods to manage educational programs. A connectivist learning theory has emerged describing how successful learners and educators thrive in a digital age. Many have developed and nurtured robust personal learning networks (PLNs) to help them adapt to the new world order. This highly interactive session will introduce participants to 10 elements of a healthy PLN. Participants will leave the session with a draft PLN and action plan when they return to their home institution
This document provides 10 tips for creating a successful learning organization 2.0. The tips include having a shared vision for the program, focusing on high priority tasks, involving others early in the process, building trust through reliability and transparency, developing communication networks both within and outside the organization, being clear about organizational values, increasing connections between people, adapting to changes rather than resisting them, recognizing no one person is central to the organization's success, and enabling others to shine rather than seeking the spotlight.

When a baby is sleeping enough depends on the parents and baby. It is enough when having the baby sleep close or wake up during the night starts negatively impacting the parents or their spouse. Parents should consider trying techniques for baby sleeping alone when the joys no longer outweigh the negatives of the current sleeping situation.
This document discusses the roles of a diagnostic assessor which include being a content curator, technology adopter, learner centered navigator, professional coach, clinical role model, and learning environment designer. It also provides advice around leadership which is to know thyself, know thy environment, and know thy craft. It focuses on the importance of self awareness and understanding one's own framing, gathering information, conclusions, and areas for improvement.
This letter is from three doctors - Felix Ankel, Diane Gorgas, and Wallace Carter - who are members of the ABEM Board of Directors. They are writing to their former selves to share lessons they have learned from their medical careers and experiences on the board. They discuss the importance of compassion for patients and colleagues.
This document discusses the future of health care professions education. It notes that industry is shifting from identity-based models to competency-based models, requiring new educational frameworks focused on developing "fusion skills" like critical judgement, conceptual understanding, technology expertise, collaboration, and advocacy. It argues that the future of work, learning, and credentials will be distributed, unbounded systems incorporating microcredentials, decentralized markets, and DAO-governed structures where knowledge, clinical training, credentialing, and other functions are built from independent, collaborative agents and tasks. To predict and create this future, educators must help learners acquire fusion skills and embrace unbounded, collaborative models of work and learning.

This document discusses the importance for psychiatrists to know themselves, their environment, and their craft. It emphasizes self-reflection to understand one's own biases and limitations. It also stresses understanding how transference and countertransference can impact patient interactions. Finally, it notes that the purpose of psychiatry is to stabilize crises, relieve suffering, and properly evaluate risk.
The document discusses the need for health care professionals to acquire "fusion skills" to adapt to rapid changes in the industry. It notes that industry 4.0 is replacing industrial health care with a knowledge economy. It argues professionals must develop skills that fuse conceptual understanding, technology adoption, critical judgement, collaboration and advocacy. Creating the future, rather than just predicting it, is key through permanent learning and creating new careers. Maintaining a balance between current needs and future skills will be difficult but acquiring fusion skills is imperative for health care professionals.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Felix. I wanted to thank ICRE. What a conference!! We have been working together for the last couple of years to bring a systems approach to health professions education and it has been the most incredible ride. We wanted to share a few things we have learned along the way
Felix So what is the goal of todays session. It is to have a conversation about personal learning networks and see how this may help you move your educational programs forward from a systems point a view
I want to start with a non-sequetor in a sense that gives a little overview of today. recently there has been a lot of discussion about an artificial intelligence spring. Which makes we think when was there an AI winter? The AI winter was in the 1980s when many AI companies when bankrupt. Two brothers, the Dreyfuss brothers, predicted this AI bubble, because there are certain human traits that computers could not perform Humans could manage complexity, manage context and be autonomous. The dreyfus brothers were also behind the competency based health professional education movement
Just like individuals can move from novice, to beginner, to competent, to proficient, to expert, I think educational programs can be novice or beginner, or competent, or proficient, or expert
The goal today is to have you reflect on your own personal learning network and use 10 disciplines in the domains of complexity, context, and autonomy to help create expert educational programs
Jonathan. Values eg… excellence and integrity and excellence and partnership and compassion, finance and measurement are support functions, not core values, in the absence of core values, sometimes support functions become core values
I recommend you articulate three to four core values for your program, and incorporate those in your communication platform
Jonathan How many of you work solo?? In this model we were able to increase the density of connections and ultimately able to make better decisions quicker. Particularly with Anchoring and confirmation bias
Also allowed me to move up the Move up the Senn Delaney ladder
Jonathan Our programs are hard wired for perfection, We are often beholden to accreditations that focus on process and outcome measures. This leads us to this illusion of central position that our educational programs are central in our environment. Here is a typical example
Activating; pull IM resident off EM service
Belief: residency does not value EM
Consequence: hostility to IM PD
Dispute: challenge initial belief and come up with alternative belief e.g. resident pulled from EM for other reason
One example is ABCD of Robert Ellis (rational emotive behavioral therapy), my recommendation is to maximize your cognitive bending practice. The most successful educators are not the most knowledgeable ones, it is the most adaptable one.
Deep listening
If you do not have a position in a conversation, you have not been doing your homework, if you did not change your position, you were not listening
Jonathan There are sun, moons, and black holes.
Suns radiate energy, moons reflect energy, and black holes suck the energy out of you. The best leaders of educational programs incorporate individual and systematic reflective practice. What king of relfective practice are you involved in, what kind of strategic and annual planning?
As an example, we did open source strategic planning for our residency every year, invited our competitors and put it on the web
Felix Lets start with complexity. This is my first tip. You have a responsibility to the program, not for the program. When I first started, I would take every challenge personally, a resident not showing up on time, faculty not filling out their evaluations, budget cuts. I lost sleep, had difficulty with boundaries, and became angry. I finally realized that I had a responsibility to the program: E.g. be honest, kind, hard working, do what’s best for patients, be resident centered, align authority with accountability and responsibilities with resources.
I also recognized the importance of a shared vision. A vision not shared is a hallucination and spent a lot of my energy building a shared vision, with the rest of the department, with the hospital, and with the medical school
If things are not going well, ask yourself
Did I spend enough time envisioning bold and creative possibilities
Did I spend enough time enlisting others in a vision that is shared
Felix My second lesson was to let go. I wanted to be the hardest working person and not impose on people. I was so excited about where we were headed that that I offered advice and comments on every part of the residency program. It was only after a few years that I realized that people did not want unsolicited advice, they wanted encouragement
Are you trying to add value to every conversation or do you let others maximize their contribution?
Are you making a point or making a difference?
Are you maximizing a position or elevating a conversation?
Felix Change is as much about letting go of assumptions as it is creating new alternatives
Must have an open mind, open heart, and open will to let go of assumptions as truths
#meded is a service rather than a product, services are best co-designed, if it is produced sometimes people feel like their only options are to agree or to be disagreeable
This is about moving from the transaction to the relationship, this is an example of our listening sessions
Felix and Jonathan How many of you deliberately build a trust network. Factual is mentioning the facts, being trustworthy, is sharing the facts in the context that the receiver desires not a strategic context,.
The best way to get trust, be vulnerable
Focus on context before focusing on the facts, so much mistrust is based on facts in strategic context

Felix and Jonathan How many of you have a communication platform for your educational programs??
Michael Hyatt book is a great book to look at a communications platform. He talks about homebases, embassies, and outpost
How many of you spend a significant time in meetings and emails. This is bone conduction, slow and efficient. One thing to consider is to use nerve conduction. Nerve conduction is usually insulated and non-linear. Many groups now use Slack with their teams where communication is asyncrhonous and topic specific rather than linear and people specific. We have found that meetings sometimes focus on power and hierarchy. We have complemented meetings with other groups such as mastermind groups, incubators, and book clubs
Think about your communication platform and delivery system
Felix and Jonathan Humans are hard-wired to learn and to network. (Geek warning, this is influenced by our mirror cells and eusocial traits). Many leaders network with people in their fields. The most successful leaders cultivate weak links at the periphery of their networks. Weak links (or weak ties) are individuals who span multiple networks or disciplines. Mark Granovetter first published “the strength of weak ties“ in 1973, long before Facebook, LinkedIn, and Researchgate existed. It is now one of the most often cited articles in the social sciences. Cultivating weak links outside of one’s traditional professional network allows for insight

We are hard wired to hang in tribes, groups of around 30 people with a shared purpose. What is interesting in health care, is that there are formal and informal tribes.

Most real work is done in 3 networks. A trust network, a learning network, and a communication network.
How many of you have deliberately cultivated a trust network?? Trust is the lubricant of networks. If you have trust, anything is possible, if you don’t have trust, nothing is possible. Warren Buffet once said. Trust is like the air we breathe, when it is present, nobody notices it, when it is absent, that is all one notices. There is a difference between being factual and trustworthy. Factual is the facts. Trustworthy is the facts presented in the context that the receiver would like to receive them rather than the facts sent from a strategic manner from the sender. A few tips in being trustworthy. Be trusting, be vulnerable. How many of you have a personal learning network and a personal development plan. My recommendation is to write down who you learn most from, identify where you want to go, and identify people you can learn from. Look for week links these are people at the periphery of networks that span multiple networks. The third network is the communication platform. How many of you have a communications platform?? Michael Hyatt wrote a great book about communications platforms and described thee parts. A home base where your information is eg a CV, a blog, a portfolio….the second is embassies on how people can access your home page many use twitter, email links etc…. The third are outposts or analytics to help you learn who is interacting with your communication platform and what you can learn. That is the skin of learning
