In a letter of reference, I recently described a student as manifesting “indomitable resolve to grow and improve.” He subsequently wrote to me that reflecting had made him realize that education is not only about knowledge or methods, but about persistence, belief, and the willingness to keep improving, even when progress is difficult or uncertain. Yes!

In May 2026, I had the opportunity to give the commencement address for the Class of 2026 of the UAB Heersink School of Medicine. I spoke to them about their role in shaping the profession, on becoming artisans of care, on working for careful and kind care for all.

Students from the Class of 2026 will be going to 19 states in 15 different specialties. Seventy percent will stay in the Southeast, and 30% will remain in Georgia. Sixty percent will be joining primary care/core specialty programs.

A few months ago – 48 years after graduation from medical school - I did my last clinical rotation in hospital-based general internal medicine and hung up my stethoscope. Now, more time for research, graduate student supervision, research, and local and international #EBM teaching.

NEW!! 2/4. The second one-pager in the series is on GTT Dimension 1, Element 2 – Curriculum Sequencing. It focuses on designing a sequenced and coherent curriculum so that students develop secure knowledge, build fluency over time, and can transfer their learning in different contexts.

The essential ingredients of curriculum design are:

✅ Sequencing – identify the essential concepts, knowledge and skills of each subject.
✅ Knowledge – build on prior knowledge by linking new content to what students already know.
✅ Retention – strengthen long-term memory over time.
✅ Fluency – ensure that knowledge becomes automatic and secure.
✅ Expertise – develop secure subject and curriculum knowledge.
✅ Transfer – help students apply knowledge in new contexts.

This one-pager draws on wider evidence-informed thinking on a knowledge-rich curriculum, including the Curriculum and Assessment Review Final Report (2025), and on Shulman’s work on pedagogical content knowledge.
