The evolution of medical education with Dr. Ivan Silver

Textbooks, highlighters, and classrooms? The world of medical education is changing. Today, we have AI, sim, and e-learning. To talk about MedEd, Dr. David Gratzer sat down with returning guest Dr. Ivan Silver, former vice president of education at CAMH and vice dean of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine.

During their conversation we learn:

• MedEd evolved from being under-valued to having entire centres built that are geared towards faculty development.
• Saying “yes” and taking risks can change your life.
• Dr. Silver’s thoughts on where a tool like ChatGPT may fit in your future practice
• And finally, if you can teach a 6- to 8-year-olds to do something they aren’t initially interested in – you can do just about anything!
