The online hierarchy of needs: A beginner's guide to medical social media and <scp>FOAM</scp>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Online medical education is expanding rapidly with learners and practitioners engaging with online resources to varying degrees. Although many descriptions of online resources have been published in the medical literature, the way in which practitioners establish themselves online and make use of these resources has not been discussed. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs is an important conceptual framework, which underpins psychological and sociological phenomena that can be observed in our daily lives. In a liberal re-imagination of this theory, we propose an online hierarchy of needs for medical practitioners. The model presents five stages of online interaction (existence, safety, consumption, collaboration and creation) that we believe healthcare practitioners must move through as they establish themselves online. The first stage requires the creation of an online presence. In the second stage the practitioner learns the rules to avoid problems with this new online existence. In the third stage the practitioner begins to effectively use online resources. The collaboration stage requires engagement with other online practitioners and the development of mutual respect within the online community. Finally, in the ultimate stage practitioners begin to create their own content. For each level of the organisational hierarchy, this lecture provides advice and resources. It should be helpful to both clinicians just entering the online world and senior educators seeking a greater understanding of online medical education.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
