Advancing AI Competency in Graduate Medical Education: A Developmental Framework
Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health care is no longer a scenario reserved for science fiction; it is rapidly becoming a critical component of clinical practice.1 A 2024 survey of 43 U.S. health systems found that 100% had implemented AI-based clinical documentation tools, whereas the Food and Drug Administration has authorized over 1,000 AI-enabled medical devices as of 2024—representing exponential growth from just 6 approvals in 2015 to 223 in 2023.2 As development and implementation accelerate, medical education confronts an urgent imperative to reimagine how to prepare current and future physicians for a landscape where AI tools increasingly influence healthcare policy, clinical decision making, documentation, and patient interaction.
