What should educators and clinical leaders take away? 🤔 Incorporate the digital twin paradigm carefully & ask: Is this model personalized? Does it update in real time? Has it been validated?
Until then, we’re often using ‘models’ not full twins. . . but we will be soon! 🤖

🚨Why does this matter?🚨 Digital twins are absolutely coming to an ICU near you, but not yet - for a digital twin to impact care, it must dynamically update with patient data & support decisions over time. Most published work to date hasn’t yet cleared that bar. 🚧

Of 149 studies analyzed (2017-2024), many were still “digital models” or “digital shadows” rather than TRUE human digital twins. Only 2 studies reported full verification, validation and uncertainty quantification 🙁

So if YOU'RE designing AI tools for learners, consider:
✅Personality tone (warm vs competent)
✅Role of feedback (reflective vs directive)✅Autonomy (let students choose)
A chatbot's emotional tone isn't superficial - it shapes how students learn

What worked best? 🤔
A balance.
Avatars that combined warmth & competence were rated highest in trust and perceived learning support.
Students want both: to feel heard & to be guided.

Students don’t just want correct answers - they want support that matches the moment.
→ Use warmth for emotional safety & reflective learning
→ Use competence for focused, goal-driven tasks

How #AI chatbots PRESENT themselves matters. In a study of med students using avatars designed for either warmth or competence, learners responded differently:
-Warm avatars fostered reflection and engagement
-Competent avatars supported task performance

Effective mentorship begins with clarity:
→ Set expectations early
→ Invite mentee input
→ Co-create goals
A strong mentoring alliance is built on trust, shared values, & honest communication. There’s no “I” in mentor.

Your past mentoring experiences - good & bad - are tools. Reflect: What worked? What didn’t? What did you need as a mentee? Transitions (like becoming a mentor) are ideal moments to pause, learn, & reshape your professional identity with intention.

Early career MDs often feel unprepared but peer & near-peer mentorship is powerful. Shared experiences foster trust, collaboration, & psychological safety - for both mentor & mentee. Say "yes" (authentically) to mentorship opportunities to grow into the role.

Intimidated by BEING a mentor? You’re not alone. Mentorship skills aren't taught during #medschool or residency, & it seems like it's expected you'll just "know what to do" as an early career MD / healthcare professional faculty - which is wrong. A about brief 🧵 #mentorship 👇
