Article Abstract
Like many other aspects of hematology-oncology training, medical education experienced rapid changes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that continue until today. We discuss some of the most transformative areas within medical education, including, but not limited to, educational philosophy; use of virtual resources; inter-institutional connections, shifts in clinical training; changes in recruitment practice; and attention to equity and diversity. Moreover, we add our own experiences to complement the limited literature addressing these topics. We conclude by highlighting some of the benefits of this unprecedented transformation in democratizing medical education that we hope endure beyond the pandemic.

Background: The increasing use of social media to share lived and living experiences of substance use presents a unique opportunity to obtain information on side effects, use patterns, and opinions on novel psychoactive substances. However, due to the large volume of data, obtaining useful insights through natural language processing technologies such as large language models is challenging.
Objective: This paper aims to develop a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture for medical question answering pertaining to clinicians' queries on emerging issues associated with health-related topics, using user-generated medical information on social media.

Background: In recent years, health care has undergone a rapid and unprecedented digital transformation. In many fields of specialty care, such as rheumatology, this shift is driven by the growing number of patients and limited resources, leading to increased use of digital health technologies (DHTs) to maintain high-quality clinical care. Previous studies examined user acceptance of individual DHTs in rheumatology, such as telemedicine, video consultations, and mHealth.
