Artificial intelligence (AI) can advance competency-based medical education (CBME) by shifting assessment from learning to for learning. Continuous feedback loops foster growth and mastery, but AI requires diverse stakeholder input for objective evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Artificial Intelligence
- Assessment
Background:
- Competency-based medical education (CBME) revolutionized assessment two decades ago.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform medical education further.
- Current assessment focuses on 'assessment of learning', hindering continuous improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore AI's potential in advancing CBME and entrustable professional activities.
- To advocate for a shift towards 'assessment for learning' using AI.
- To propose integrating AI for continuous feedback loops and personalized learning.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of AI's role in medical education.
- Discussion of AI's potential to facilitate 'assessment for learning'.
- Exploration of AI's impact on learner-machine relationships and motivation.
Main Results:
- AI can enable continuous, immediate feedback, fostering a growth mindset.
- Personalized AI interaction may reduce judgment associated with traditional grading.
- AI integration can shift focus from performance to mastery learning and expertise development.
Conclusions:
- AI offers a pathway to enhance CBME through 'assessment for learning'.
- AI-driven feedback loops can promote mastery and expertise.
- Ethical AI implementation requires continuous co-production and evaluation with diverse stakeholders to ensure objectivity and mitigate bias.
