Conventional curriculum maps are often fragmented, as they are developed incrementally by faculty members at different times. Over time, this can make them difficult to navigate, irrelevant and incoherent to faculty and student end-users. To address these issues, we developed an in-house curriculum map, <i>MEduCompass</i>, featuring an easy-to-navigate interface. <i>MEduCompass</i> was created through a participatory approach involving students and faculty to ensure it met their needs. Guided by Design Thinking principles, the platform has a structured and cohesive design, incorporating a continuous feedback system for iterative, user-centred feature updates. This was piloted with an undergraduate module on the topic of gastrointestinal systems. Initial feedback from faculty members was that it allowed them to view the curriculum holistically and helped bridge the gap between clinical and pre-clinical years to meet learners' need. This adaptable, feedback-driven approach ensures that stakeholders' needs are addressed, keeping the platform relevant to evolving educational demands and learning outcomes, while also adapting to both technical and pedagogical requirements.</p>","PeriodicalId":18643,"journal":{"name":"Medical Teacher","volume":" ","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144044385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional teaching strategies often fall short in preparing clinicians to navigate the unpredictable, urgent, and multifaceted nature of clinical decision-making, while also providing limited support for the development of cognitive heuristics essential to forming independent clinical judgment. To address these challenges, we introduce vibe coding, a novel AI-assisted, no-code development approach that enables educators to create interactive, customisable learning simulations without programming expertise. By prioritising rapid prototyping and iterative refinement, vibe coding shifts the focus from technical constraints to pedagogical goals, allowing educators to generate code through intuitive, conversational prompts. We applied this approach to develop two distinct applications: the Differential Diagnosis Trainer (DDT), which enhances diagnostic reasoning through randomised clinical scenarios and AI-generated feedback, and the Insulin and Blood Sugar Simulation (IBSS), which offers real-time exploration of metabolic dynamics. Both tools were built using AI-powered no-code platforms, demonstrating significant improvements in accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. We encourage educators to transition from technology adopters to creators, leveraging AI-driven platforms to develop innovative, scalable, and personalised clinical simulations that transform learning experiences and ultimately enhance patient care.</p>","PeriodicalId":18643,"journal":{"name":"Medical Teacher","volume":" ","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, it is often assumed that group decision making is superior to that of an individual, resulting in high quality decision outcomes through the pooling of collective knowledge and experience. Yet, while groups can outperform individuals, this is not guaranteed. In fact, groups are vulnerable to several cognitive biases and process issues that individuals are not subject to and these can lead to poor quality decision outcomes if not managed. As educational leaders who participate in group decision-making, we believe it is our responsibility to ensure the quality of these complex and high-stakes decisions. In this article, we discuss both the potential benefits and vulnerabilities of group decision-making by introducing the concepts of wisdom of the crowd and groupthink, respectively.

To overcome these challenges, video consultation (VC) recordings, which were made with the consent of patients having a telemedicine consultation, were collected as an archive of medical interview recordings covering a wide spectrum of pulmonary diseases. These recordings were watched by students in a classroom setting during clinical clerkships, with case discussions interspersed. This article, which also discusses the results of clinical clerkship evaluations, indicates that the use of pre-recorded VC sessions can be an effective tool for teaching good clinical practices through the ideal method of medical interviews, diagnostic approaches, evaluation of test results, communication skills with patients and their relatives, and addressing the socio-psychological aspects and social impacts of diseases.
