Adam’s guest today is Dr. Akshay Rajaram, a community emergency physician and AI expert. Our conversation about the impact of AI on medical education is inspired by a recent paper that Akshay wrote in the Canadian Medical Education Journal titled “Large Language models in medical education: new tools for experimentation and discovery”. We are also joined by a resident co-host, Dr. Henry Li, who is a PGY4 pediatric emergency medicine resident from the University of Alberta who also has a special interest in the field. We cover some AI and LLM model basics as well as some of the implications of AI for both medical learners and educators.
