Description
Summary:Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including healthcare and education. This paper explores the potential opportunities and risks of GenAI in graduate medical education (GME). We review the existing literature and provide commentary on how GenAI could impact GME, including five key areas of opportunity: electronic health record (EHR) workload reduction, clinical simulation, individualized education, research and analytics support, and clinical decision support. We then discuss significant risks, including inaccuracy and overreliance on AI-generated content, challenges to authenticity and academic integrity, potential biases in AI outputs, and privacy concerns. As GenAI technology matures, it will likely come to have an important role in the future of GME, but its integration should be guided by a thorough understanding of both its benefits and limitations.
