Abstract
Artificial intelligence is reshaping medical education at a pace that outstrips most institutions' capacity to respond, yet practical, multi-domain guidance for educators remains limited. This article translates the first three levels of the International Advisory Committee for Artificial Intelligence (IACAI) Learner Matrix, the Intrapersonal, Micro, and Meso levels of a five-level socio-ecological framework, into 12 practical tips for educators and curriculum designers. The tips span foundational AI culture and literacy, ethical practice, critical tool evaluation, learning design, clinical skills integration, assessment, career preparation, curriculum co-design, research integrity, workforce readiness, and learner well-being. Each tip identifies a core challenge and offers concrete implementation strategies at the learner and institutional levels. Taken together, the tips provide a coherent, learner-centered scaffold to help educators worldwide prepare learners for AI-augmented practice.
期刊介绍:
Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
