Should We Screen Doctors for Social Judgment?

December 10, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

It’s a recurring story that played itself out again recently.  A medical student takes pictures of a patient and posts them on Facebook.  This time the alleged victim is an inebriated supermodel and the student, one who defied direct orders to cease and desist.  The result is a $1.5m lawsuit, an embarrassed institution, a ruined career, and most importantly, a patient ...

The Second Nature of Public Medical Students

April 3, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

This tweet came floating down my Twitter stream yesterday.  Allison, a medical student, remarked on an impending podcast interview.  As quickly as her tweet appeared in my stream it was gone.  There was a reply by me as well as another premedical student that I could see.  But otherwise, not a lot of pomp and circumstance.

You Can’t Stop Public Conversation

February 13, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I hear occasionally of medical schools that prohibit students from blogging or using tools like Twitter.   But those trying to legislate the conversation don't realize how fragmented our channels of dialog have become.

This is something.  From one of my fav medical magazines, Proto comes an interview with Rita Charon, an internist and literary scholar at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.  She has initiated a new program in narrative medicine where medical students and clinicians fashion clinical experiences into narratives that reflect not only their points of ...

Doctors and the Gifted Bias

December 15, 2010 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I work in a big medical school my job involves teaching the next generation of doctors. And I live with a gifted bias. Here’s what I’ve noticed: We love bright trainees.  They garner our attention.  We give them awards.  We discuss them in glowing terms.  They make us proud.  I've seen colleagues work the call schedule so as to be assigned most efficient resident ...
