  • Does Big Data Mean Big Evidence?

    Does Big Data Mean Big Evidence?
    May 7 2024
    Can the calls for evidence-based improvement in HPE be answered by big national datasets?

    Do we know what works in HPE/meded? Does our training “work”? Is one institution or curriculum better than another? What does “better” mean anyway?

    Follow this discussion lead by Jason R. Frank that has taken on an article that analyse how datapoints from graduate medical education might be able to improve that same education. Is it possible? What are the implications?

    Hear what our hosts thinks.
