We are excited to share that several of our faculty members—among them Dr. Kashif Ahmad, Dean of UAG School of Medicine, and Dr. Lucia Elizabeth Álvarez Palazuelos—have recently published on the ScholarRx Bricks platform, with our contributions now live and accessible worldwide.

ScholarRx Bricks are interactive high-yield digital learning modules aligned with USMLE content. They are designed to help medical students connect foundational science with clinical practice offering an innovative way to learn, review, and apply key medical concepts.

Dr. Kashif Ahmad and Dr. Lucia Álvarez collaborated as co-authors on multiple Bricks on the ScholarRx platform, including Cardiac Channelopathies and Acute Abdomen. Both faculty members worked closely with the primary authors and with international faculty and students to develop these high yield learning resources.
Tao L., who is the Chief Education Officer, shared:
 

"We are honored to feature the work of UAG faculty on the ScholarRx Brick Exchange. Their contributions not only enrich our global library of high-yield digital learning modules but also highlight the power of collaboration in medical education. By bringing together faculty, students, and partners from around the world, we can create and share resources that help learners bridge the gap between foundational science and clinical practice."
