@HillPharmD I had one experience...it sat for review for 240+ days. No response from the editor, only the manager who said each time they were finding reviewers. I think it was clerical error but I had to withdraw it unfortunately. Lack of transparency is an issue. They need a pizza tracker.

@SC_Pharmacist @CPTLJournal @pillsfromjill @kerrywilbur @DrJeffCain @tmpbrock Getting some publications put together, it has been too long and I've got the writing itch!

Death in ICU 🛑

🔹After death today, the Crit Care Fellow had our team take “The Pause” to show respect for his life👇
🔹She then took time from rounds to have us process our pain & talk it through
🔹Tears were shed

Valuable? Thoughts please.

@lilhwn2 @bamardis @brentnreed @wbaker0621 @AJWPharm To clarify--the "what fruit are you", "what drugs would you bring to a deserted island", etc., questions are NOT examples of that. They seem more poised to support our confirmation bias--we want people who think like us

[Michael Wolcott @wolcottm29]

@lilhwn2 @bamardis @brentnreed @wbaker0621 @AJWPharm These assessments are divergent thinking tasks to evaluate creative problem-solving potential and abilities to build connections across different contexts. The Divergent Association Task (https://t.co/BPicHTW7vJ) is a common example of verbal creativity https://t.co/KWKOXq2sV6

[Michael Wolcott @wolcottm29]

@brentnreed Agreed--the evidence has to start somewhere and most don't have training to build it. Some opportunities to create novel assessment formats, which need more support before branded as a solution to a bigger problem. Collaborative problem-solving tasks could be the next MMI...🤔

Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.

I hate journal club.

Sitting in a group to discuss a paper together,
which inevitably spirals into either
nuanced nit-picking or
downright trashing
feels like a waste.

But maybe we're doing it wrong?

[Michael Wolcott @wolcottm29]

@brentnreed Can you elaborate? Many programs use ineffective and biased methods (e.g., interviews, cases) with limited reliability or validity evidence to support high-stakes decisions. What would be more ideal or what's needed for this to be less concerning? I haven't read the article yet

I assume this has already been discussed in #AcademicTwitter and I’m behind…are people exploring the impact of ChatGPT or other AI in admissions? Using it for personal statements, letters of recommendation, letters of intent, etc? How can we determine it? Is it a “bad” thing?

Well…not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Despite my best attempts to mask, sanitize, and a flu vaccine…this was a rough one. Be careful out there during the holidays. Few things make you feel as old as you are like the flu. Oof.

Anyone at #ASHP22?! Let me know!

[Michael Wolcott @wolcottm29]

@SC_Pharmacist Maxed out the three, but definitely got on a few other collars together 😉 we need to plan for one next year!
