AI Reshaping Medical Education: Dean Emphasizes Literacy and Ethics

Artificial Intelligence (AI), including tools like ChatGPT, is transforming medical education. Dr. Wafaa Al Johani, a renowned figure in medical academia, emphasizes the importance of AI literacy, integrity, and ethical understanding for future doctors. She currently serves as the Dean of Batterjee Medical College in Dubai.

Dr. Al Johani stresses the need for continuous learning to keep up with rapidly evolving medical technologies. She highlights the significance of verifying information from AI tools due to potential inaccuracies, a phenomenon known as 'AI hallucination'.

Simulation-based training, using high-fidelity mannequins and hybrid models, is now a key part of modern medical curricula. This approach allows students to gain practical experience in a safe and controlled environment.

AI is revolutionizing medical education, and understanding its ethical use is crucial for future doctors. Dr. Al Johani's insights remind us that while AI tools like ChatGPT are valuable, they must be used responsibly and with a commitment to continuous learning and verification.
