How Can Artificial Intelligence Improve Medical Education? - Medical Bag

According to an article published in the AMA Journal of Ethics, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology should result in an overhaul of medical school curricula to incorporate the effective use of AI, communication, and empathy. The article authors cited the recent focus on the deteriorating mental health of medical students, highlighting the demanding learning environment that contributes to learners' poor mental health. The current information overload crisis has resulted in the need for physicians to manage and use AI applications that aggregate data collaboratively. Based on this, the researchers recommend that medical education be reformed to focus on knowledge management, including effective use of AI technology. In the near future, the skills required of practicing physicians will involve collaborating with AI applications that manage data.
