An Academic Viewpoint (2025) on the Integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education:...

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has introduced a new era of medical education by offering innovative solutions to critical challenges in teaching, assessment, and clinical training. This expanded review explores the current and potential applications of GAI across multiple domains, including personalized tutoring, enhanced academic administrative efficiency, and improved preparedness for daily learning interactions. Utilizing a narrative review methodology combined with expert analysis, this study involved a structured literature search in January 2025 across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, followed by iterative brainstorming sessions and expert evaluations to assess the feasibility and impact of various GAI applications. Six domain experts then appraised the feasibility and impact of GAI technologies across educational settings, resulting in 10 identified domains of application: Quality and Administration, Curriculum Development, Teaching and Learning, Assessment and Evaluation, Clinical Training, Academic Guidance, Student Research, Student Affairs, Internship Management, and Student Activities. Our findings highlight how GAI supports personalized learning - through adaptive tutoring and automated performance dashboards - while optimizing administrative tasks such as course registration and policy oversight. In addition, immersive simulations and virtual patient encounters reinforce clinical decision-making and practical skills. GAI-driven tools also streamline research processes via automated literature reviews and proposal refinement, ultimately fostering greater efficiency across academic environments. Despite these opportunities, ethical considerations remain a priority. Issues pertaining to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and equitable access must be addressed through robust regulatory frameworks and institution-wide policies. Overall, by embracing targeted, ethically guided implementations, GAI has the evolving potential to enhance educational quality, improve operational effectiveness, and equip future healthcare professionals with the adaptive skills needed in a patient-centered clinical landscape.
