Identified strengths included benefits for student engagement and enjoyment from learning, improving accessibility and acceptability of learning content and opportunities for advocacy and outreach. The scope of educational opportunities included direct learning of clinical information, academic discourse and dissemination and professional networking. Learning benefits related to integrative multimedia pedagody and reduction of learner cognitive load, which optimised the learning potential from content viewed. Benefits detailed were predominantly conceptual, with a lack of studies analysing TikTok educational use and risk of bias from studies high. Risks and challenges relating to TikTok were notable, including cybersecurity, misinformation, addiction and exploitation risks from social media use, as well as a lack of professional guidance and legislation.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>While TikTok has potential, its integration into clinical education remains limited by risks.

In healthcare, AI has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and provide clinical decision support. As AI becomes ubiquitous in clinical workflows, clinical teachers must be prepared not only to use AI tools but also to interpret, appraise and oversee their outputs safely and effectively. However, evidence indicates that medical curricula have not kept pace with technological adoption; structured AI education remains sparse or inconsistent across institutions. To address this gap, educators must define what medical students should learn about AI and how to teach it. Whereas existing literature defines what learners should know about AI, our work provides a pragmatic framework for how they should learn to use it in practice. By integrating verification, critical appraisal and ethical reflection into everyday clinical teaching, our workflow offers a scalable and adaptable model for preparing future clinicians to engage safely and responsibly with generative AI.</p>","PeriodicalId":47324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Teacher","volume":"23 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13063796/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147640779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical students now see patients in their first year, and the traditional head-to-toe physical exam (HTTE) can be overwhelming with its over 100 manoeuvres and does not give learners physical exam readiness for early clinical work. We have developed and implemented <b>Core + Clusters (C + C)</b>. C + C begins with a streamlined <b>Core Exam</b>, with approximately 40 manoeuvres, that prepares learners for early clinical experiences. <b>Diagnostic Clusters</b>, the second component of C + C, are sets of history-taking questions and physical examination manoeuvres critical to discriminating among diagnoses in common clinical presentations. They build on prior education models by combining hypothesis-driven history-taking with hypothesis-driven physical examination to better resemble clinical practice. The C + C model is feasible, requires resources similar to those used in the HTTE curriculum and is flexible enough to adapt to the curricula of diverse institutions.
