Within this article, we aim to discuss the three pillars central to a trainee's experience including education on AI, AI education tools, and clinical implementation of AI. An already overcrowded clinical residency curricula makes little room for a thorough AI education, the challenge of which may be overcome through longitudinal distinct educational tracks during residency or external courses offered through a variety of societies. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of AI, programs that offer education tools using AI will improve on antiquated clinical curricula. These education tools are a growing field in research and industry offering a variety of unique opportunities to promote active inquiry, improved comprehension, and overall clinical competence. The near 700 FDA-approved AI clinical tools almost guarantee that residents will be exposed to this technology, which may have mixed effects on education, although more research needs to be done to further elucidate this challenge. Ethical considerations, including algorithmic bias, liability, and postdeployment monitoring, highlight the need for structured instruction and mentorship.

In the predictation phase, LLMs can analyze clinical data and provide context-aware summaries of each case, suggest relevant educational resources, and triage cases based on their educational value. In the active dictation phase, LLMs can provide real-time educational support through processes such as differential diagnosis support, completeness guidance, classification schema assistance, structured follow-up guidance, and embedded educational resources. In the postdictation phase, LLMs can be used to analyze discrepancies between trainee and attending reports, identify areas for improvement, provide targeted educational recommendations, track trainee performance over time, and analyze the radiologic entities that trainees encounter.

Ground truth was determined by combining LLM-based radiology report classification and the CVPED outputs, with human review of discrepancies. We simulated a daily monitoring framework to track discrepancies between CVPED and the LLM. Drift was defined when discrepancy rate exceeded a fixed 95% confidence interval for 7 consecutive days. The confidence interval and the optimal retrospective assessment period were determined from a stable dataset with consistent performance. We simulated drift by systematically altering CVPED or LLM sensitivity and specificity, and we modeled an approach to detect data shifts.

Overall, 373 (3.1%) had discrepant classifications between CVPED and LLM.

Of those, 24 were CVPED false-positives, 1 was an LLM false-negative, and the framework ultimately identified 4 true-alerts for incremental PE cases. The optimal retrospective assessment period for drift detection was determined to be 2 months. A 2% to 3% decline in model specificity caused a 2- to 3-fold increase in discrepancies, and a 10% drop in sensitivity was required to produce a similar effect.
