AMA Catalyzing Change in Med Ed

The Role of AI in Medical Education

AI (artificial and augmented intelligence) is playing an increasingly important role at all stages of the medical education continuum, both as a tool for educators and learners. In this episode Catalyzing Change in MedEd, host Kim Lomis*, MD, VP, Innovations in Medical Education, American Medical Association, speaks with two leaders in the field of AI in education, Cornelius James, MD, Assistant Professor in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Learning Health Sciences, University of Michigan Medical School and Laurah Turner, PhD, Associate Dean for Artificial Intelligence and Educational Informatics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, to better understand what sort of training in AI learners and practicing physicians need and how to leverage AI to improve the processes of training across the continuum. Guests: * Cornelius James, MD, Assistant Professor in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Learning Health Sciences, University of Michigan Medical School * Laurah Turner, PhD, Associate Dean for Artificial Intelligence and Educational Informatics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Host: * Kim Lomis, MD, VP, Medical Education Innovations, American Medical Association Explore the AMA's work with AI in medical education [https://www.ama-assn.org/education/changemeded-initiative/ai-medical-education].

Empowering Learners Through Coaching

CME Available on the AMA Ed Hub™: https://edhub.ama-assn.org/ama-education/audio-player/10.1001/ama.2026.0002314 [https://edhub.ama-assn.org/ama-education/audio-player/10.1001/ama.2026.0002314] An academic coach is a person assigned to facilitate learners in achieving their fullest potential. Today's medical school coaching programs focus on a wide variety of individualized goals, including professional identity formation and academic performance, while strengthening skills such as community building, leadership and lifelong learning. In this episode of Catalyzing Change in MedEd, you'll listen in on a mini coaching session with guests Nicole Deiorio, MD, associate dean for Student Affairs and professor of Emergency Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and Maya Hammoud, MD, MBA, professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Learning Health Sciences, University of Michigan Medical School, to better understand the nuances of academic coaching and what differentiates it from coaching in athletics. Drs. Deiorio and Hammoud will also discuss how coaching benefits both the coachee and the coach, as well as opportunities—and considerations—when incorporating technology such as artificial intelligence into the coaching experience.

The goal of the initiative was to prompt and enable long-term transformation in graduate medical education (GME) to address the workforce needs of our current and future health care system. To better understand the impact of the initiative, Dr. Andrews spoke with two principal investigators from the grant teams and the AMA's director of program evaluation to discuss their projects, the community of practice for GME innovation that evolved over the six years, and how they intend to continue to innovate beyond the grant term.

Precision Education: The Future of Medical Education
