The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Improving Medical Education: A Comprehensive Review

This research delves into the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing clinical education, addressing its main purpose, methodology, findings, and results. The conventional approach to acquiring clinical information encompasses a comprehensive journey spanning undergraduate to postgraduate levels, specialized training, and beyond, involving a diverse range of healthcare professionals. Notably, physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare experts contribute significantly to its multifaceted scope. Recognizing the profound impact of AI in the era of rapid technological advancement, this study emphasizes its crucial role in clinical education. A comprehensive literature review was conducted through exhaustive examinations of papers accessible across various databases. Over the past decade, AI has successfully tackled persistent challenges in the field of education, encompassing language processing, reasoning, planning, and cognitive modeling. The research explores three prominent applications of AI in clinical education: the Virtual Inquiry System, Clinical Distance Learning and Management, and the production of educational videos within medical schools. Moreover, it sheds light on AI's potential to enhance the non-scientific, humanistic aspects of medicine. The primary objective of this review paper was to scrutinize the implications of AI in current clinical education practices and anticipate its future impact. The study establishes a comprehensive understanding of how AI is reshaping the landscape of medical education, offering valuable insights for educators, practitioners, and stakeholders alike.
