I have been playing around with this trials finder a little and so far, I am impressed. We must find a better way to make it easier for physicians and other providers, as well as patients, to find trials and this is certainly a step in that direction. Check it out!

Flashback to 2019, when @shousri and I spoke at a @theNCI workshop about one of oncology’s hardest problems: clinical trial enrollment. Today, I’m excited to announce @themednet TrialMatch—helping the right trials find the right patients. Try it: themednet.org/trial-match

I was impressed with @themednet's new AI tool. Preference for sources from high quality journals including guidelines, with additional tailored recs sourced from the extant expert content already present in Mednet. ✅✅✅ I'm a bit of an AI hater but thought this was useful.

🫘 Hats off to @themednet for a successful ACR JOURNAL CLUB ON LUPUS NEPHRITIS with rheumatologists and nephrologists nationwide! ❓ The most commonly viewed question was: "Would you use voclosporin or belimumab as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of lupus nephritis?" themednet.org/question/9039?… 👩‍⚕️😷🥼👨‍⚕️If you are a physician, JOIN TheMedNet where you can ask your peers and key opinion leaders directly, the difficult, not-straightforward clinical questions: themednet.org TheMedNet learned that: ‼️ For proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) initial therapy, in combo with mycophenolate mofetil 👉34% of physicians prefer voclosporin (VOC) 👉48% prefer belimumab (BEL) 👉17% do not use BEL or VOC 👉30% use VOC and BEL concurrently (including me) 👉12% start with VOC then switch to BEL aiming for long term control 👉19% start with BEL then switch to VOC if remission was not met with BEL If on VOC and in remission for 1-3 years: 58% taper off VOC 42% taper off steroids only 💰💵KUDOS!

I'm still an X maximimalist, but wondering what physician specific social media platforms people are using currently? What I've noticed: - theMednet seems to be the best place to discuss cases with smart people - Figure1 seems decent for interesting pictures, but seems to have somewhat lower quality of case discussions - Doximity seems to be the best place to connect with someone directly compared to other platforms, but still seems to have limited use

Interesting read. We recently surveyed physicians on @themednet. While 70% are not using AI clinically, 77% feel that AI will help them in the future- with decision-making, keeping up with data, & relieving administrative burdens, resulting in more time to spend with patients.

It can be hard for anyone to find words of compassion. But, for some doctors, a solution is to ask a chatbot for help. nytimes.com/2023/06/12/healt…

Despite the drawbacks of turning to artificial intelligence in medicine, some physicians find that ChatGPT improves their ability to communicate empathetically with patients.

Great summary from @JenSchwartzIUSM on rapid knowledge explosion in #oncology: ~5m pubmed hits for #cancer and a discovery *every* minute. This is exactly why @themednet exists! To aid new knowledge contextualization in real time at the point of care. #MedEd #OncMedEd #ASCO23
