    #37 – Blended Intensive Programmes in physiotherapy education
    Jul 26 2024
    In this episode, we explore Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), an innovative approach to student and staff mobility in physiotherapy education. These short-term, intensive courses combine physical mobility with virtual learning, fostering international collaboration. We talk about how BIPs enhance cross-cultural understanding, promote idea exchange, and offer flexible mobility options for students and staff in physiotherapy education and beyond.

    #36 – Generative AI personas in physiotherapy education
    May 24 2024
    In this conversation Leanne Wiles and Dean Walker discuss how they used generative AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to simulate patient interactions for students in physiotherapy education, enhancing their communication and reasoning skills. Students interacted with AI personas portraying diverse health scenarios. The practice proved immersive and effective, displaying significant potential for flexible educational approaches in challenging healthcare communications.

    #34 – Remote-only physiotherapy management
    Mar 18 2024
    In this episode with Ben Gordon, the discussion explores remote-only physiotherapy, augmented by technology. We talk about how virtual care reshapes physiotherapy's principles, focusing on accessibility, preventative care, and a shift from physical interaction to software-supported decision-making. The conversation also covers challenges to traditional professional norms, urging a reimagined, patient-centric approach facilitated by technological advancements and regulatory adaptations.

    #33 – Generative AI in health professions education
    Feb 29 2024
    Ben and I talk to Lambert Schuwirth about the development of HPE-Bot, a chatbot based on the GPT language model, and its implications for health professions education. The conversation explores AI's potential effects on teaching, assessment, and learner behaviour, raising concerns about accuracy and institutional adaptation. While we highlight the ongoing challenges with integrating AI into professional education, we tend to agree that the opportunities for driving much needed change, are significant.

    #30 – Grand narratives in simulation-based education
    Aug 16 2023
    In this episode, Ben and Michael speak to Shane Pritchard about using the concept of a 'grand narrative' to structure a simulation programme at scale, across multiple disciplines, in schools of health and social care. We're all familiar with simulation-based activities within, and maybe even across, disciplinary programmes. But what would it take to build a simulation programme across an entire school?

    #29 – Generative AI and assessment
    Jul 14 2023
    In this episode, we discuss the implications of generative AI on assessment, and on learning and teaching more broadly. This was a wide-ranging conversation that explored some of the detail around how language models work, it's inability to compare responses to valid models of the world, practical uses for AI in teaching, learning, and assessment, and the risks of having AI being trained on data generated by AI.
