    [28] Cookies, Charisma & Bias: Exploring the Hidden Consequences and Impact of Teaching Evaluations This episode was first released on November 11, 2025 Description In this episode, Adam (and resident guest co-host Mario Corrado) speak with Dr. Lynfa Stroud about the complexities of teaching evaluations in medical education. They discuss some of the biases that influence evaluations, the unintended consequences that can arise, and the delicate power dynamics between learners and educators. Their conversation underscores the need for a more nuanced, supportive approach to assessing teaching quality - one that moves beyond student ratings to foster genuine growth and development in medical education.  Length of episode: 48:34  Resources to check out   How Teacher Evaluations Broke the University "We give them all A's, and they give us all fives." By Rose Horowitch  https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/09/teacher-evaluations-grade-inflation/684185/    The Doctor Fox Lecture: A Paradigm of Educational Seduction Donald H. Naftulin, M.D., John E.

    [45] The Physician's Next Skill Set: From AI to What Comes Next

    On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with 'the medical futurist', Dr. Bertalan Meskó, to explore what it means to prepare for the future of medicine in an era currently shaped by artificial intelligence. Using prompt engineering as a starting point, the conversation moves beyond the technical to focus on a deeper shift in how clinicians adapt in the face of rapid change. Together, they examine the risks of over-reliance on AI, the pitfalls of bold predictions, and the enduring role of human connection in healthcare. The discussion ultimately reframes AI not as the destination, but as a tool for helping clinicians prepare for what lies ahead.  Length of Episode: 39:23  Resources to check out:  Meskó B.

    [44] Formative, Not Performative: Rethinking Teaching Evaluations to Help Teachers Grow

    Clinical teaching happens in real time, but feedback about that teaching does not. Too often, feedback shows up late, feels vague, or never arrives at all, especially for the everyday teaching that happens on shift, in the hallway, or at the bedside. Adam speaks with Dr. Esther Bui about why that gap persists, and what it might look like to close it. Esther shares what led her team to build myTE, an app-based tool designed to capture in-the-moment teaching feedback. Together, they explore what traditional evaluation systems tend to miss, why authentic quality feedback is so important, and how trust and psychological safety shape the experience.  Length of Episode: 30:27 Resources to check out:  Halani S, Kumar SS, Lim DY, Hefferon D, Prakash V, Kumagai AK, Bui E.

    [43] The Hidden Curriculum Exposed: When the CEOs of Canada's Family Medicine and Specialist Colleges Compare Notes on Medicine's Unwritten Lessons

    On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Chris Watling and Mike Allan (the CEOs of Canada's two national medical colleges) to unpack the hidden curriculum in medicine. Together, they explore how subtle signals in our learning and working environments shape identity, influence career pathways, and reinforce hierarchies both between and within disciplines. From the loss of shared spaces like physician lounges, to structural pressures such as competition for residents and fragmented training pathways, to the powerful role of public narratives, the conversation examines how these forces quietly sculpt our professional culture. Chris and Mike reflect on their own professional experiences, the impacts felt by learners in both family and specialty practice, and what it might take to move toward a more respectful, connected, and collaborative medical community.   Length of Episode: 38:11   Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca             Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski

    [42] La Concordance de Script et la Formation par Concordance : Des origines aux nouvelles applications

    Dans cet épisode de KeyLIME+, Adam s'entretient avec le Dr Bernard Charlin à propos de la théorie de la concordance de script, une approche permettant de comprendre et d'évaluer le raisonnement clinique dans des contextes médicaux incertains et complexes. Ils explorent comment le test de concordance de script saisit certaines des nuances de la prise de décision en situation réelle en analysant la manière dont les cliniciens ajustent leur réflexion face à de nouvelles informations. Ils approfondissent également comment cette approche va au-delà de l'évaluation pour devenir un puissant outil d'apprentissage, offrant une rétroaction personnalisée qui remet en question les hypothèses et aiguise le jugement clinique. Bernard partage aussi ses réflexions sur l'impact étendu de ce test dans différentes spécialités ainsi que sur la manière dont les technologies émergentes, comme l'intelligence artificielle, pourraient en façonner l'avenir.   Episode Length: 32:29   Resources to check out:  Hudon A, Phan V, Charlin B, Wittmer R.

    [41] Thinking Beyond the Patient: Planetary Health in Medical Education

    On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam and guest resident co-host Julia Sawatzky speak with Dr. Bhavini Gohel to explore the intersection of planetary health and medical education, highlighting how climate change impacts healthcare and what physicians can do to help. Together, they unpack what planetary health really means, why it has become an important issue for clinicians and educators, and how it shows up in everyday practice. The conversation also explores how medical training can meaningfully integrate planetary health without adding burden, and what this can mean for the future roles of physicians as educators, advocates, and system stewards.    Episode Length: 37:13     Contact us   Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca       Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski

    [40] Mentorship Matters: Turning Potential into Performance in Medical Education

    In this episode, Adam speaks with Dr. Ruth Gotian about the critical role of mentorship in cultivating high-performance individuals. Drawing on her research on elite performers - including Nobel laureates, Olympic athletes, and successful physicians - Ruth highlights how success can be nurtured through intrinsic motivation, resilience, and supportive mentoring relationships. The discussion explores distinctions between mentorship and sponsorship, the powerful impact of mentorship on reducing burnout, and offers practical strategies for medical educators to enhance their own mentorship practices.     Length of episode:   36.39    Resources to check out   Ruth's new book, "Mentoring in Healthcare: The Definitive Guide to Cultivating Individual and Organizational Success": https://mentoringinhealthcare.com/ ; https://amzn.to/4q0QFqC   Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca      Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski

    [39] From the Sidelines to the Bedside: What Medical Education Can Learn from Coaching and Feedback in Sports

    On this episode of KeyLIME+, Adam sits down with Drs. Victor Do and Cory Rohlfsen, both medical educators and former competitive athletes, to explore how lessons from high-performance sports coaching can inform feedback and coaching in medical education. Victor and Cory share firsthand insights about the culture of feedback in sports, where direct, real-time, and goal-oriented coaching is not only expected but embraced. They contrast this with the challenges faced in medical education, where feedback can sometimes feel less immediate, less authentic, and complicated by multiple competing factors. Together, they discuss the crucial role of trust, shared goals, and direct observation in making feedback meaningful and how these elements might be better integrated into medical education to support learner growth and ultimately improve patient care.  Length of episode:  47:17  Resources to check: Learning culture and feedback: an international study of medical athletes and musicians https://asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/medu.12407    Contact us: keylime@royalcollege.ca      Follow: Dr. Adam Szulewski https://x.com/Adam_Szulewski
