International Advisory Committee for Artificial Intelligence

International Advisory Council for AI- AAMC, AMEE, AAHCI, IAMSE, APMEN

The global spotlight is now on artificial intelligence (AI) as our communities in health professions education (HPE) actively strive to establish a unified, consensus-driven strategy for addressing imminent opportunities and challenges. A coordinated effort also better prepares us to anticipate and plan for the unfolding future.

The AAMC in collaboration with AMEE: The International Association for Health Professions Education, the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE), the Asia Pacific Medical Education Network (APMEN), and the Alliance of Academic Health Centers International (AAHCI) has convened the International Advisory Committee for Artificial Intelligence. Committee members represent a global perspective on AI, ensuring the range of innovations and learning can be harnessed for everyone’s benefit.

With the overarching goal of providing guidance and best practices for the HPE community, the International Advisory Committee for Artificial Intelligence holds the responsibility of actively surveying the rapidly evolving landscape of AI developments and identifying potential opportunities and concerns affecting learners, as well as the faculty and staff supporting them. The AAMC’s MedBiquitous program is organizing this initiative.

Over the last 6 months, as part of its initial charge, the committee has been considering AI’s future use and impact through the lens of undergraduate and graduate medical education. The resulting conversations, environmental scanning, and workshopping with the community, has allowed the committee to release vision frameworks that serves as guideposts for all future IACAI work and hopefully through community consensus, adaptable and implemented across the global medical education continuum.
