What is AI in Medical Education?
AI (artificial and augmented intelligence) is playing an increasingly important role at all stages of the medical education continuum, both as a tool for educators and learners and as a subject of study in and of itself. AI has the potential to transform the educational experience as a part of precision education and transform patient care as a part of precision health.
