Demystifying AI: A Primer for Medical Educators Using a Real-World Application to Enhance Clinical Reasoning Skills

Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance clinical skills and provide personalized education is a transformative development in medical education. In this workshop, presenters will explore the innovative 2-Sigma platform, which utilizes generative AI to create unique clinical scenarios, providing students opportunity to practice their clinical reasoning and apply classroom learning in a novel way with the ability to as both a learning and assessment tool. Presenters will begin with an introduction to AI, its generative capabilities, and how this disruptive innovation can be applied to enhance an individual trainee's clinical reasoning skills. Participants will gain insights into how AI can offer tailored and effective learning experiences. The centerpiece of the workshop will be a detailed case study on the 2-Sigma platform used in UME. Presenters will explore how the platform provides scenario-based learning, adaptive tutoring, instant feedback, performance monitoring, and customizable learning goals. By harnessing large language models and AI technology, 2-Sigma ensures seamless interaction, content personalization, and adaptive learning to allow deliberate practice with clinical reasoning skills. Following this workshop, participants will not only understand the fundamentals of AI and its application in medical education but also be inspired by the real-world impact demonstrated through the 2-Sigma platform. They will leave equipped with actionable insights on how to integrate AI into their own teaching contexts, fostering a more personalized, efficient, and forward-thinking approach to medical education.
