Abstract
The lack of training in generative AI (GenAI) among most medical educators poses an important challenge. Recognizing this need, an introductory session was created. A pre- and post-survey was distributed to gain insights on the impact of the module and identify concerns about GenAI in medical education. Scores for each statement were higher upon completion of the module session. Feedback showed that the module was well-received and reflected an openness to discuss the benefits and challenges of GenAI. We need to help educators and learners how to use GenAI tools judiciously and understand their benefits and limitations.

期刊介绍:
Medical Science Educator is the successor of the journal JIAMSE. It is the peer-reviewed publication of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE). The Journal offers all who teach in healthcare the most current information to succeed in their task by publishing scholarly activities, opinions, and resources in medical science education. Published articles focus on teaching the sciences fundamental to modern medicine and health, and include basic science education, clinical teaching, and the use of modern education technologies. The Journal provides the readership a better understanding of teaching and learning techniques in order to advance medical science education.
