AI is being used in medical schools in a variety of ways including teaching, assessment, simulation training, feedback, and student self-assessment. AI can help medical education become more personalized which is how we envision the use of this libguide progressing.
It is our goal that students will become comfortable enough with a variety of AI tools; personalizing their education and leading to better learning outcomes.
We're working hard to come up with more resources for you so stay tuned...
Dr. James Martin is responsible for the creation of the prompts used on the following pages. He will be happy to answer any questions that may come up or to guide you through the use of certain tools.
