Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining medical education, bringing new dimensions of personalized learning, enhanced visualization and simulation-based clinical training to the forefront. Additionally, AI-powered simulations offer realistic, immersive training opportunities, preparing students for complex clinical situations and fostering interprofessional collaboration skills essential for modern healthcare. However, the integration of AI into medical education presents challenges, particularly around ethical considerations, skill atrophy due to overreliance and the exacerbation of the digital divide among educational institutions. Addressing these challenges demands a balanced approach that includes blended learning models, digital literacy and faculty development to ensure AI serves as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, core medical competencies. As medical education evolves alongside AI, institutions must prioritize strategies that preserve human-centred skills while advancing technological innovation to prepare future healthcare professionals for an AI-enhanced landscape.
期刊介绍:
The Clinical Teacher has been designed with the active, practising clinician in mind. It aims to provide a digest of current research, practice and thinking in medical education presented in a readable, stimulating and practical style. The journal includes sections for reviews of the literature relating to clinical teaching bringing authoritative views on the latest thinking about modern teaching. There are also sections on specific teaching approaches, a digest of the latest research published in Medical Education and other teaching journals, reports of initiatives and advances in thinking and practical teaching from around the world, and expert community and discussion on challenging and controversial issues in today"s clinical education.
