Education

The democratization of generative AI (GenAI) is transforming medical education, as highlighted by these leaders.

Stanford Medical School Dean

Generative Al will have a radical effect on how we educate physicians.

Dr. Bernard Chang

Harvard Medical School Dean for Medical Education

Future physicians are going to be AIenabled physicians.

Jesse Ehrenfeld

American Medical Association President

It is clear to me that AI will never replace physicians — but physicians who use AI will replace those who don’t. (See interview news)  

 

We are exploring new ways to accelerate the democratization of GenAI in medical education.

  • See our concept paper of ChatGPT as a training copilot published by JAMA.

GenAI Copilot Platform for Learning

 

To make it easier for medical students, doctors and healthcare professionals to use GenAI in medical education, clinical learning, and healthcare decision support, we have released the new ELHS Copilot Platform for free. ELHS Copilot takes a GenAI-first approach to design new functions for accelerating GenAI learning and application. Current unique features include:

 

Multiple LLMs

Integration of multiple top commercial LLMs (such as ChatGPT and Gemini) and open-source LLMs (such as Llama and Gemma) in Copilot, allowing users to compare their performance for any healthcare tasks and choose the right ones for creating their own copilot.

Streamlined Learning

Streamlined clinical learning that starts with clinical case analysis by GenAI and leads to case-related or in-context study of clinical learning guides based on GenAI’s expert level of healthcare knowledge.

 

We are experimenting with using GenAI, like ChatGPT, to educate the community on GenAI and learning health systems (LHS).

  • Podcasts: We have conversations with ChatGPT in our podcasts (short videos) to introduce the impact of GenAI in medical education and healthcare and to discuss a variety of topics interesting to health professionals as well as patients.

  • Newsletters: While reviewing the latest developments in healthcare AI and transformation, our newsletters engage ChatGPT to discuss new concepts, cutting-edge research, and technology breakthroughs.

  • Forums: With partners from the University of Michigan and Stanford University, we initiated the LHS Tech Forum Initiative at the Learning Health Community (nonprofit organization). The forums bring together experts from academia and industry around the world to discuss technologies including GenAI for realizing the LHS vision created by the US National Academy of Medicine (NAM).

 

Practical Guides:

  • To help clinical teams to get started with ML-enabled LHS, we have released the first open “Learning Health System Practical Guide” on GitHub, focused on the new “ML-LHS unit” practical approach to AI/ML and LHS.
