Revolutionizing Medical Training: Insights from Sanjeev Sockalingam

As we move to more technological kind of advances, there are concerns and risks for different professions, maybe not so much in psychiatry and mental health, but that we will have to train our students to use technology, but they might replace some of the skills that we previously would have been teaching in that curriculum.
Imagine a world where medical training isn't confined to traditional classrooms or hospitals. In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer chats with Sanjeev Sockalingam, a psychiatrist and VP of Education at CAMH, about the evolving landscape of medical education. They dive into how technology, including virtual reality and AI, is reshaping how clinicians are trained. Sockalingam shares his vision for 'just-for-me' learning experiences that adapt to individual needs, making advanced training more accessible and effective.
They also tackle the current gaps in medical school curriculums, especially around technology integration. How can future doctors be better prepared to use these tools in their practice? Sockalingam emphasizes the importance of both synchronous (live) and asynchronous (on-demand) training methods. He highlights successful models like ECHO, which leverages technology to create collaborative learning environments. But it's not all about the tech.
Sockalingam and Gratzer discuss the crucial balance between embracing new technologies and maintaining core skills like empathy and compassionate care. They explore the potential of AI in exam writing and the future of classrooms that blend physical and digital spaces. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of medical education. Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to stay ahead of the curve or just interested in how technology is transforming training, you'll find valuable insights here.
