Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) education into medical curricula is critical for preparing future healthcare professionals. This research employed the Delphi method to establish an expert-based AI curriculum for Canadian undergraduate medical students. A panel of 18 experts in health and AI across Canada participated in three rounds of surveys to determine essential AI learning competencies. The study identified key curricular components across ethics, law, theory, application, communication, collaboration, and quality improvement. The findings demonstrate substantial support among medical educators and professionals for the inclusion of comprehensive AI education, with 82 out of 107 curricular competencies being deemed essential to address both clinical and educational priorities. It additionally provides suggestions on methods to integrate these competencies within existing dense medical curricula. The endorsed set of objectives aims to enhance AI literacy and application skills among medical students, equipping them to effectively utilize AI technologies in future healthcare settings.

利用德尔菲研究开发加拿大人工智能医学课程

将人工智能（AI）教育纳入医学课程对于培养未来的医疗保健专业人员至关重要。本研究采用德尔菲法，为加拿大医学本科生建立基于专家的人工智能课程。由加拿大卫生和人工智能领域的 18 位专家组成的小组参与了三轮调查，以确定基本的人工智能学习能力。研究确定了课程的主要内容，包括伦理、法律、理论、应用、沟通、协作和质量改进。研究结果表明，医学教育工作者和专业人士非常支持纳入全面的人工智能教育，107 项课程能力中有 82 项被认为是解决临床和教育优先事项的基本能力。此外，研究还就如何将这些能力纳入现有的密集医学课程提出了建议。认可的一系列目标旨在提高医学生的人工智能素养和应用技能，使他们能够在未来的医疗环境中有效利用人工智能技术。
