Roupen Odabashian, Hematology/Oncology Fellow at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, shared a post on X:
“I finished oncology training and wrote my boards, and almost immediately ran into a question nobody prepares you for: how do you actually stay up to date once the exams stop?
For your whole career until that point, learning has scaffolding. There’s a question bank. There’s a test date. There’s a score telling you what you don’t know. Then training ends, the scaffolding disappears, and the field keeps moving faster than ever. New trials, new approvals, new guideline updates every month. And suddenly the only person checking whether you actually understand any of it is you.
The way I learn best is by answering questions, not just reading. Passive reading lets me fool myself into thinking I understand something. A good multiple-choice question with a real explanation exposes the gap instantly. So I went looking for a tool that could turn whatever I was reading into high-quality questions.
I tried a lot of them. Most AI tools generate multiple-choice questions that are shallow, ambiguous, or just wrong, with explanations that restate the answer instead of teaching it. Not good enough to actually study from.
That’s why I built MeDucation. The difference is under the hood: instead of one model writing a question, we run a multi-agent system where three to five AIs work together, critiquing and refining each other until the question and its explanation are actually good enough to learn from.
Here’s the workflow that changed how I keep up. I upload a guideline or a review paper into the Learning Hub, and it turns that document into a quiz I can solve, or a mind map, or a personalized lecture. For me, the quizzes have been the thing. It’s the closest I’ve found to having a question bank that never ends, built from whatever I happen to be reading this week.
Training teaches you medicine. It doesn’t really teach you how to keep learning once the tests are gone. I’m curious how other physicians are solving this. What’s your system for staying current after training?”
