As I see and hear more and more about Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education, I'm creating a special "Hot Topics" section below to include information I discover. This section will continue as long as it's needed. Please let me know if you have a resource or resources to share.

A reminder that all Faculty Focus Newsletter and Update issues are available from the Faculty Focus Archive.

I thank all who help with content curation and those who have shared items with me for distribution.

Thank you, Steve
