Artificial Intelligence in Health Professions Education : Proceedings of a Workshop

The National Academies Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education hosted a multi-day workshop series in March and April 2023 to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in health professions education.

Speakers at the workshops provided background on AI; discussed the social, cultural, policy, legal, and regulatory considerations to integrating AI into health care and training; considered the skills health professionals will need as educators and providers to effectively use AI in practice; and explored needs for educating the next generation of health workers.

Speakers took consideration of the bias, burden, health equity concerns that introducing AI into clinical education would bring.
