Artificial Intelligence is in Your EM Clerkship: Are You Ready? (CDEM Sponsored)

The advent of broadly available Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to change our worlds, and undoubtedly is influencing the world of medical education. Students have broad and easy access to AI tools which they employ to enhance their education. In my clerkship, we ask students to use AI to help advance their knowledge and develop solutions to hypothetical clinical problems. Students not only use AI tools to help solve these problems, but are asked to search for new tools, evaluate their use, and reflect on their incorporation into healthcare by considering their strengths and limitations. I plan to share this strategy as a framework for the use of AI in the EM clerkship, while also sharing with participants some examples of guidelines that have been created for the use of AI in medical education, as well as the tools that our students, and others, have used in med ed.
