#Alliance26 - imagine at #Alliance27... there were more than 2 people on @bsky.app and when great lessons were learned they were immediately shared ;-)

I push back at the β€œ17 year…” trope all the time - the research is weak at best.

That being said, these were just some of my tweets from 17 years ago at what was the 2010 Alliance For Continuing Education in the Health Professions meeting.

Do these themes still resonate?

What is the risk of cognitive offloading via LLMs?

While we’ve offloaded tasks before, we’ve rarely done so with judgement

Standing in the back of the room of the β€œEmbracing the Neurodivergent CPD professional” and can’t help but notice the various fidgeting and stims I see across the room…while I am doing the same!

Pretty sure a session like this hasn’t happened before today…

14 years later and the message is getting louder that #socialQI may be the solution to the prolonged delays between bench, to bedside, to curb.

Re-engineering research and information flow through new channels and new platforms.

The irony is we are closing in on the β€˜17 year’ trope.

Hitting the final stretch before #Alliance26 - looking forward to joining friends and colleagues from around the world...with the highlight being our 2/18th Wed 1030 workshop applying implementation science principles in #CME #CPD

This is the challenge with investing time to engage on Bluesky - the #MedEd #CMEchat communities aren't here and I am seeing zero evidence that they are on their way.
