    In my office, I have a wall of medical books that I have not opened in years. Decades. So does every senior clinician I know. That wall is not learning. It is a fossil of an era when customizing a teaching artifact was expensive, so we just updated a fixed one. The next version.

    and then the first time you use it after it turns blue, your teeth turn blue, then your whole body turns blue and it turns out that the toothbrush was a relic from some wizard from the Smurf kingdom trying to recreate that race and this is why I'll never write like you.

    Doctors please remember For you it's just another appointment. Just another rounds visit. But for patients those 10 minutes are the most important visit of their day. Sometimes of their lives.

    How to be an excellent clinical teacher in medicine. Tweetorial. Just my thoughts during a 15 year career as a teacher, with some dabbling in #MedEd research. Some GI themes but applicable to all I hope. #GITwitter #MedTwitter

    With @TheThanigasalam a tremendous supporter of @SHNcares and a crown jewel representative for the people of Scarborough. Together with @SHNFoundation we are building a new medical academy, a research institute, a new tower, a new ER and a new rads suite. @SuratiSweetMart

    Listen The bigger issue is your GI character. You have sooooo much material to work with in GI. There is no more funny specialty than GI. And well the GI content to date has been, well, sparce. Not the voluminous, frequent, urgent, mucousy content it could be. Thank you.

    (1/n) Today my colleague Dr. Norman Marcon, a giant in gastroenterology and endoscopy in Canada retired. This is a brief tweetorial about who he is, his career, and the contributions that he made to gastroenterology, and particularly endoscopic education.

    My career has been based around studying the ways we teach endoscopy. Was particularly stoked to get this in the mail today. I'm delighted to be recognized by @ASGEendoscopy as a fellow.

    Today a white colleague was explaining to a group how his IBD patients are ethnic and unsophisticated ... and then trying to flex on how he practices in Rexdale and that his patients are too poor for social media. I got shut down by him. He's viewed as a regional expert in #IBD.

    Today my colleague Dr. Gabor Kandel was inducted as part of a prestigious group - the @UofT_DoM Academy of Master Clinicians, recognizing his physicianship and excellence in patient care. But few know who he is. I wanted to let you know about this amazing man. #gitwitter

    1. Be an expert AND know what you don't know Read, experience, practice, simulate, reflect. See what is happening to pts. Learn from sources that work for you - conferences, social media, UTD Most importantly, know what you don't know - seek experts for your pts in those areas.
