/1 #UncleBob has great optimism about Internal Medicine. My initial love started when I understood that our job was to solve the mystery for the benefit of the patient. Over the years i have had colleagues with that same passion. So why is my optimism particularly high now.
2/ What excites me is the community response to learning during COVID-19. @CPSolvers Virtual Morning Report has involved so many learners - students and young physicians. Their enthusiasm to learn tells me that so many have what I consider "the right stuff".
3/ This morning I check our YouTube video of our first @UnremarkableLab episode - and already >160 views as I type. This quest to improve is the hallmark of great physicians. Our goal as educators is to help our learners (and ourselves) regularly improve.
4/ So Zoom has become a great educational platform. From the first Virtual Morning Report I attended to now, I get more enthused every day by our learners and educators. These activities do not involve grades, CME or MOC - they are learning for learnings sake.
5/ The adaptability of #MedEd to this crisis speaks highly of our passion and the passion of our learners. Being a part of this community means that while I physically distance, I don't have to socially distance, because I have so much intellectual and social interaction.
