Meeting the Moment: Supporting the Use of AI in Medical Education - February 27

Includes a Live Web Event on 02/27/2025 at 1:00 PM (EST)

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is committed to supporting and leading the advancement of AI in academic medicine, with a focus on equitable access and ethical use. By leveraging its strengths of convening, collaborating, and disseminating exemplars to support the field’s advancement of using and implementing AI, the AAMC has supported development of two new resources to guide the community. During this session, speakers will share details about these resources and their expected use, as well as provide a forum for discussion. 

The Principles for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in and for Medical Education provide foundational guidance and key issues to consider as institutions look to integrate AI into medical education by (1) supporting learners along their developmental continuum to responsibly integrate AI into their practice, and (2) building and incorporating AI into medical education tasks, processes, and systems.  

The International Advisory Committee for Artificial Intelligence (IACAI) Vision and Integration Frameworks support learners, educators, and institutions across the global medical education continuum by offering concrete recommendations for AI integration at the intrapersonal, individual, institution, national, and international levels across a series of key domains. 

Learning Objectives 

  1. Familiarize the academic education community with new guidance to support equitable and responsible utilization of AI. 
  2. Share insight on how to utilize and apply the principles and guidance for proactive action.  
  3. Provide a forum for discussion.
