Capture

February 15, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Information is becoming a huge part of my world.  All day it comes at me like a stream through a growing number of channels.  Scraps, stories, bits of language, quotes, weird angles, pictures, unique human tensions, links and concepts.  These can be virtual, IRL, or in my mind. Perhaps the most important things are the ideas that come to me by way of the things I ... Continue Reading about Capture

An Institution’s Responsibility to a Public Physician

February 5, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

We talk a lot about the responsibility of doctors to respect a certain standard when it comes to their public presence.  I’ve suggested that we’re accountable to our communities, colleagues and our patients.  Extreme views and rogue behavior have a way of reflecting badly on those around us.

September 30, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 6 minutes

For Doctors, the World is Too Big to Know

May 30, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

Repurposing Physician Knowledge

March 28, 2012 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Everyday I work with some of the world's most remarkable pediatricians.  Doctors who have not only pioneered the latest advances in genetics and infectious disease but who have the experience of caring for some of the sickest children imaginable. What’s remarkable is the knowledge and experience living inside of these doctors - so little of what they know has been ... Continue Reading about Repurposing Physician Knowledge

When Information Outpaces Evolution

October 5, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I woke up this morning, tapped my digital signal, and found this from Brian McGowan on Twitter: "What happens when complexity races ahead of the mind's ability to adapt? When progress outpaces evolution? We need new solutions." What happens when information outpaces evolution? Like a slow hunch, a version of this idea has been rattling around in my head for some ...
