[45] The Physician’s Next Skill Set: From AI to What Comes Next
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with ‘the medical futurist', Dr. Bertalan Meskó, to explore what it means to prepare for the future of medicine in an era currently shaped by artificial intelligence. Using prompt engineering as a starting point, the conversation moves beyond the technical to focus on a deeper shift in how clinicians adapt in the face of rapid change. Together, they examine the risks of over-reliance on AI, the pitfalls of bold predictions, and the enduring role of human connection in healthcare. The discussion ultimately reframes AI not as the...

[44] Formative, Not Performative: Rethinking Teaching Evaluations to Help Teachers Grow
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
Clinical teaching happens in real time, but feedback about that teaching does not. Too often, feedback shows up late, feels vague, or never arrives at all, especially for the everyday teaching that happens on shift, in the hallway, or at the bedside. Adam speaks with Dr. Esther Bui about why that gap persists, and what it might look like to close it. Esther shares what led her team to build myTE, an app-based tool designed to capture in-the-moment teaching feedback. Together, they explore what traditional evaluation systems tend to miss, why authentic quality feedback is so important,...

[43] The Hidden Curriculum Exposed: When the CEOs of Canada’s Family Medicine and Specialist Colleges Compare Notes on Medicine’s Unwritten Lessons
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Chris Watling and Mike Allan (the CEOs of Canada’s two national medical colleges) to unpack the hidden curriculum in medicine. Together, they explore how subtle signals in our learning and working environments shape identity, influence career pathways, and reinforce hierarchies both between and within disciplines. From the loss of shared spaces like physician lounges, to structural pressures such as competition for residents and fragmented training pathways, to the powerful role of public narratives, the conversation examines how these forces...

[42] La Concordance de Script et la Formation par Concordance : Des origines aux nouvelles applications
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
Dans cet épisode de KeyLIME+, Adam s’entretient avec le Dr Bernard Charlin à propos de la théorie de la concordance de script, une approche permettant de comprendre et d’évaluer le raisonnement clinique dans des contextes médicaux incertains et complexes. Ils explorent comment le test de concordance de script saisit certaines des nuances de la prise de décision en situation réelle en analysant la manière dont les cliniciens ajustent leur réflexion face à de nouvelles informations. Ils approfondissent également comment cette approche va au-delà de l’évaluation pour devenir...

KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam and guest resident co-host Julia Sawatzky speak with Dr. Bhavini Gohel to explore the intersection of planetary health and medical education, highlighting how climate change impacts healthcare and what physicians can do to help. Together, they unpack what planetary health really means, why it has become an important issue for clinicians and educators, and how it shows up in everyday practice. The conversation also explores how medical training can meaningfully integrate planetary health without adding burden, and what this can mean for the future roles...

In this episode, Adam speaks with Dr. Ruth Gotian about the critical role of mentorship in cultivating high-performance individuals. Drawing on her research on elite performers - including Nobel laureates, Olympic athletes, and successful physicians - Ruth highlights how success can be nurtured through intrinsic motivation, resilience, and supportive mentoring relationships. The discussion explores distinctions between mentorship and sponsorship, the powerful impact of mentorship on reducing burnout, and offers practical strategies for medical educators to enhance their own...

[39] From the Sidelines to the Bedside: What Medical Education Can Learn from Coaching and Feedback in Sports
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Drs. Victor Do and Cory Rohlfsen, both medical educators and former competitive athletes, to explore how lessons from high-performance sports coaching can inform feedback and coaching in medical education. Victor and Cory share firsthand insights about the culture of feedback in sports, where direct, real-time, and goal-oriented coaching is not only expected but embraced. They contrast this with the challenges faced in medical education, where feedback can sometimes feel less immediate, less authentic, and complicated by multiple competing...

[38] AI and Emerging Skill Gaps: Deskilling, Never‑Skilling, Mis‑Skilling—and What Educators Can Do About It All
KeyLIME+ (Key Lessons and Innovations in Medical Education)
In this episode, Adam sits down with Dr. Raja-Elie Abdulnour to explore how AI is reshaping medical education and why it has the potential to quietly erode clinical reasoning. They discuss the emerging risks of deskilling, never-skilling, and mis-skilling, and how AI can widen gaps between high-performing and low-performing learners. Raja-Elie introduces the DEFT-AI framework, a practical approach for turning AI-assisted moments into teaching opportunities that strengthen, rather than outsource clinical judgment. Their conversation highlights both the promise of AI and the need to help...
