Yet while uncertainty and disability have individually received significant attention, little mind has been paid to how they interact. Common assumptions and biases underscore the frequently negative view of both conditions. However, overemphasis on reducing and eliminating uncertainty has negatively impacted physicians beholden to a culture that venerates certainty. At the same time, medicine's focus on fixing and curing disability, which is founded on ableist practices and policies, has led to deleterious patient health outcomes. If what is required for equitable, person-centered care is a greater tolerance of uncertainty, then we might derive wider benefits from approaches with demonstrated efficacy in dismantling ableist logic. For this reason, we employ the social model of disability to formulate three interrelated strategies for reframing uncertainty as a source of possibility in clinical encounters and life more broadly. The first strategy entails reappraising mental models that have contributed to structural barriers. Applying Paul Han's framework for tolerance to pervasive sources of bias, we argue that reappraisal inhibits certainty preference from erasing the subjectivities that invigorate our collective wisdom and grant significance to our lived experiences. The second strategy involves reexamining ways of knowing that have controlled ways of being. By applying a critical lens to the labels and categories indispensable to contemporary knowledge systems, we illustrate how an ethics of uncertainty can help us realize the principles of epistemic justice. The third strategy involves replacing the \"un-choosing of disability\" as described by the disabled poet and activist Eli Clare with the reclaiming of uncertainty. This approach reveals how creating a medical culture that fosters meaning and purpose can positively influence the relational aspects of care. Collectively, these strategies form the foundation of a praxis necessary to foster tolerance of uncertainty and bodily variability throughout medicine. We conclude by demonstrating how leaning into the discomfort inherent to paradoxes can transform uncertainty from a limiting factor to a liberating force for epistemic justice.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate AI's potential in mentoring medical students by collecting expert opinions, assessing its potential benefits and limitations, and developing a consensus-driven framework for the effective integration of AI-based mentorship into medical education. Specifically, it addresses ethical concerns such as data security, algorithmic bias, and the potential for reduced human interaction. Using a structured online Delphi technique, this interdisciplinary research involved 27 experts in medical education and AI to investigate the intersection of AI with medical mentorship. The study employed both qualitative (e.g., expert interviews) and quantitative (e.g., survey data) research methods, with consensus measured &lt;i&gt;via&lt;/i&gt; descriptive and inferential statistics, including Fleiss' kappa and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Detailed methodological steps, including the selection criteria for experts and the iterative feedback process across the four Delphi rounds, were meticulously followed to ensure robust consensus building. Conducted over four rounds, the Delphi technique achieved substantial consensus among panelists regarding the AI mentors' capabilities and the critical aspects requiring attention, with a kappa value of .79 ([.73-.85]) and high reliability (ICC=.873). The study also compared traditional mentorship roles with those enhanced by AI, highlighting areas where AI can complement and extend human mentorship rather than replace it. Panelists recognized AI mentors' potential to enhance learning processes, while also identifying limitations in areas requiring deep human judgment, emphasizing the need for careful application. AI mentors can significantly guide students across various aspects of medical training, from career planning to achieving academic goals, through personalized learning experiences. They hold promise for improving clinical skills and decision-making abilities through real-time feedback and adaptive learning modules. However, their limitations and the potential risks of overreliance necessitate balanced and cautious application. Ethical considerations, such as ensuring data integrity and preventing bias, are paramount in the deployment of AI mentors. These insights advocate the strategic implementation of AI mentors in medical education, suggesting phased integration and interdisciplinary oversight to harness their full educational potential while mitigating possible drawbacks. Furthermore, the study proposes a hybrid mentorship model that combines AI-driven insights with human empathy and ethical oversight to create a more comprehensive and effective mentorship framework.

This has posed challenges for educators for many decades, despite significant development of individual assessment methods. <b><i>Evidence</i>:</b> Programmatic assessment is a systematic assessment approach that is gaining momentum across health professions education. Programmatic assessment, and in particular assessment for learning, is well-suited to address the challenges with clinical reasoning assessment. Several key principles of programmatic assessment are particularly well-aligned with developing a system to assess clinical reasoning: longitudinality, triangulation, use of a mix of assessment methods, proportionality, implementation of intermediate evaluations/reviews with faculty coaches, use of assessment for feedback, and increase in learners' agency. Repeated exposure and measurement are critical to develop a clinical reasoning assessment narrative, thus the assessment approach should optimally be longitudinal, providing multiple opportunities for growth and development. Triangulation provides a lens to assess the multidimensionality and contextuality of clinical reasoning and that of its different, yet related components, using a mix of different assessment methods. Proportionality ensures the richness of information on which to draw conclusions is commensurate with the stakes of the decision. Coaching facilitates the development of a feedback culture and allows to assess growth over time, while enhancing learners' agency. <b><i>Implications:</i> </b>A programmatic assessment model of clinical reasoning that is developmentally oriented, optimizes learning though feedback and coaching, uses multiple assessment methods, and provides opportunity for meaningful triangulation of data can help address some of the challenges of clinical reasoning assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"403-411"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141094499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Syrian war has exacerbated the situation, creating obstacles such as destroyed infrastructure, inflated clinical workload, and deteriorated medical training. Poor scientific writing skills have ranked first among perceived obstacles that could be modified to improve Syrian research conduct at every academic level. However, limited access to personal and physical resources in conflict areas consistently hampers the implementation of standard professional-led interventions. <b><i>Intervention:</i></b> We designed a peer-run online academic writing and publishing workshop as a feasible, affordable, and sustainable training method to use in low-resource settings. This workshop covered the structure of scientific articles, academic writing basics, plagiarism, and the publication process. It was also supplemented by six practical assignments to exercise the learned skills. <b><i>Context:</i></b> The workshop targeted healthcare professionals and medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy trainees (undergraduate and postgraduate) at all Syrian universities. We employed a systematic design to evaluate the workshop's short- and long-term impact when using different instructional delivery methods and assignment formats. Participants were assigned in a stratified manner to four groups; two groups attended the workshop synchronously, and the other two groups attended asynchronously. One arm in each group underwent a supervised peer-review evaluation for the practical writing exercises (active), while the other arm in each group self-reviewed their work on the same exercises using exemplary solutions (passive). We assessed knowledge (30 questions), confidence in the learned skills (11 questions), and the need for further guidance in academic writing (1 question) before the workshop and one month and one year after it. <b><i>Impact:</i></b> One-hundred-twenty-one participants completed the workshop, showing improved knowledge, confidence, and need for guidance. At one-year follow-up, participants showed stability in these gains. Outcomes for the synchronous and asynchronous groups were similar. Completing practical assignments was associated with greater knowledge and confidence only in the active arms. Participants in the active arms engaging in the peer-review process showed greater knowledge increase and reported less need for guidance compared to those who did not engage in the peer-review. <b><i>Lessons learned:</i></b> Peer-run interventions can provide an effective, affordable alternative to improving scientific writing skills in settings with limited resources and expertise.
