Reflecting on today's fantastic #iMED2022, I am thrilled to share an app I've been creating to create high-quality🤓, collaborative🗺️, & dynamic 📈diagnostic #MedEd schemas!

Medical learning is all about the organization of a HUGE amount of (growing) knowledge😅

I loved the concept of a logical framework...but my handwriting, spelling and ability to hold onto paper documents is👎🙈

Plus, I wanted to be able to collaborate dynamically with YOU!🤩 2/

Current tools (handwritten, PowerPoint, chart apps) all had their limitations and were not designed for medical trainees!

So I used @ThePSF #python 🐍with @plotlygraphs Dash and @Graphviz to develop a web tool that leverages the collaboration capabilities of @googlesheets 3/

Enter your content in the sheet, make it public, share with friends, and copy the URL into the app for instant simple schemas that you can export as PDFs 🤯

Sheet Template: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

And adding a new node or branch is as simple as adding a row to your sheet!🙌4/

You may also be able to envision new ways to integrate this into #MedEd teaching.💡

For example, the Vandy Problem Solvers @VUmedicine @VUMCMedicineRes with leadership from @chasejwebber allowed me to create a schema in real-time while we worked through a case conference🕷️5/

This is still a work in progress (you will find bugs🐞) but I hope it might be helpful!

Thanks to so many that inspired me with their schemas, diagnostic thinking, digital tools, and discussion especially @chasejwebber
