Does Big Data Mean Big Evidence?
Can the calls for evidence-based improvement in HPE be answered by big national datasets?
Do we know what works in HPE/meded? Does our training “work”? Is one institution or curriculum better than another? What does “better” mean anyway?
Follow this discussion lead by Jason R. Frank that has taken on an article that analyse how datapoints from graduate medical education might be able to improve that same education. Is it possible? What are the implications?
Hear what our hosts thinks.

Shhh… I’m trying to learn
This episode offers an exploration of silence in education, challenging traditional notions of verbal dominance in the classroom. By examining silence as a positive pedagogical tool, it provides insights into fostering student agency and engagement.
Educators will gain practical strategies for creating an inclusive learning environment that respects the diverse ways in which students process and engage with content. And there is a mini Methods Consult from Lara talking about inductive, deductive and abductive reasoning. Enjoy!
