Two AI Paradigms in Medical Education: The Generative Tutor and the Agentic Coach
Introduction: Medical training is at a pivotal moment, with generative AI already reshaping educational practices as reliable, on-demand tutors that deliver instant knowledge and feedback, while agentic AI is poised to further revolutionize medical training as proactive, autonomous coaches guiding learners through dynamic clinical scenarios. Together, these AI paradigms offer complementary benefits in educating future […]
AI Prompting for Clinicians
In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an invaluable tool for physicians, medical students, and residents. From diagnostic assistance to personalized treatment plans, AI’s applications are vast and transformative.
The Need for AI Literacy in Medical Education
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medicine is reshaping clinical practice, research, and medical education. Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Bard have demonstrated capabilities in passing medical licensing exams, assisting with clinical decision-making, and enhancing medical training. However, despite the widespread adoption of AI tools among medical students, most receive little or no formal training on their responsible and effective use.
Large Language Models Limitations
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping the medical landscape, offering new ways to support clinicians, students, and researchers. While these models can enhance efficiency and knowledge-sharing, it is essential to recognize both their strengths and limitations.
How Busy Medical School Faculty Can Use Generative AI to Write Letters of Recommendation—Responsibly
Writing a thoughtful, well-crafted letter of recommendation (LOR) is one of the many academic responsibilities that often fall to faculty in medical schools. Whether you’re a physician, a basic science professor, or hold an administrative role in medical education, these letters play a critical role in shaping the careers of students, trainees, and colleagues. But […]
Rethinking Medical Education with Generative AI: From Passive Learning to Active Intelligence
Published: March 2025 Updated: October 2025 The Evolution of Medical Learning For decades, medical education relied on a familiar foundation: lectures, textbooks, and videos. While these tools remain valuable, they no longer fully match the needs of digital-native students who have grown up expecting interactive, personalized experiences. Today’s generation of learners doesn’t just want to […]
Optimizing AI Interactions: How Prompting Strategies Impact Performance
This blog post discusses research that is currently in its preprint stage on SSRN. A preprint means the study has not yet undergone formal peer review, and its findings should be interpreted with caution until further validation. Artificial intelligence (AI) models, particularly large language models (LLMs), are increasingly used in business, education, and policymaking. However, […]
AI Literacy is Not a Hobby it is a Necessity
AI literacy is not a hobby. It’s not an optional skill reserved for tech enthusiasts or data scientists—it’s a fundamental necessity in today’s world. AI is already shaping healthcare, finance, education, and even legal systems, yet too many people remain unaware of how it works or how it impacts their lives. Without AI literacy, […]
