AHFE Open AccessUshering a New Era in Medical Education: Ethical Foundations and Vision for adoption of AI and XR based pedagogical frameworks
Abstract
This paper outlines a vision for medical education of the future, where AI and Extended Reality based cyber-human-physical environments as pedagogical foundation for immersive and experiential learning experiences. While some medical schools have started to adopt such innovative approaches, there is an urgent need to develop long term plans to ensure that physicians and doctors are prepared for the AI revolution which is poised to revolutionize the practice of medicine. Doctors must be knowledgeable and ready to work beside AI and XR based tools, while being ready to override decisions made by such tools. This paper discusses the foundational role of ethics in the adoption of such practices as well as outlines the components of such next generation cyber-human-physical tools, while emphasizing the need for medical students to be at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship. It concludes with a discussion of ways to address some of the challenges associated with realizing such an educational vision of the future.
