Artificial Intelligence Use in Medical Education: Best Practices and Future Directions

This review examines the various ways artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized in medical education (MedEd)and presents ideas that will ethically and effectively leverage AI in enhancing the learning experience of medical trainees.

AI has improved accessibility to learning material in a manner that engages the wider population. It has utility as a reference tool and can assist academic writing by generating outlines, summaries and identifying relevant reference articles. As AI is increasingly integrated into MedEd and practice, its regulation should become a priority to prevent drawbacks to the education of trainees. By involving physicians in AI design and development, we can best preserve the integrity, quality, and clinical relevance of AI-generated content. In adopting the best practices for AI use, we can maximize its benefits while preserving the ethical standards of MedEd with the goal of improving learning outcomes.
