Can peer facilitators transform interprofessional education?
A new study says yes. https://ow.ly/Ji2U50Y4aMq

• Peer facilitators perform as effectively as faculty in guiding interprofessional learning.
• Students showed significant improvement in attitudes toward interprofessional relationships no matter who facilitated.
• Peer‑led or mixed facilitation models can help overcome the heavy staffing demands that often limit IPE delivery.
• This creates a more scalable, sustainable, and innovative approach to preparing future healthcare teams.

Why it matters:
Interprofessional education is essential for building collaborative, patient‑centred healthcare. By empowering trained peer facilitators, institutions can expand access, diversify learning experiences, and strengthen teamwork skills—without compromising quality.

A promising path forward:
Peer‑supported facilitation isn’t just a workaround—it’s a strategic innovation that can reshape how we train the next generation of health professionals.

A recent study in optometry education compared human teachers with 5 AI large language models and the results are game‑changing.

Here’s what it found:
-AI responds faster and gives more comprehensive answers
-Models like GPT‑4, Claude‑3 & Gemini scored higher than humans in accuracy, completeness & overall quality
-Students liked AI’s depth: but still found humans easier to understand and don’t want teachers replaced

Together, these insights paint a bold picture:
-The future of medical education is AI‑augmented, not AI‑replaced
-Online learning platforms can integrate LLMs to deliver real‑time support
-Educators can focus on clarity, mentorship & clinical wisdom

This is innovation in action—reshaping medical education one question at a time.

On this day in 1900, Gertrude Mary Cox was born. She was a statistician who was a pioneer in the development of modern statistical methods. She was the first woman to receive a professional appointment at North Carolina State University, where from 1940, she headed the newly established Department of Experimental Statistics. Her exceptional organizational ability and her realization that statistics needed to be made practical for those working in agricultural and biological research led to her bridging the gap between theoreticians and research workers.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise the day and made it so special.
At iheed, we balance hard work with fun, and Bad Santa Day does that perfectly.
