Description
How will AI transform what it means to be an expert healthcare professional? This session encourages us to challenge conventional thinking about clinical expertise as AI increasingly participates in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care.
Drawing on theories of adaptive expertise and distributed cognition, we'll explore how the foundations of healthcare education need to evolve beyond knowledge accumulation and practiced skills. Instead of simply training clinicians to compete with AI on recall and pattern recognition, how might we prepare them to collaborate effectively with intelligent systems?
We'll investigate what uniquely human capabilities become more valuable in healthcare—empathy, ethical reasoning, and complex decision-making—and how these integrate with AI capabilities. What does this mean for curriculum design, assessment strategies, and clinical teaching?
Join the conversation to explore how health professions educators can prepare the next generation for a world where expertise extends across human-AI partnerships, and where effective patient care emerges from the thoughtful orchestration of both human and artificial intelligence.

24MarIn the academic health sciences systems we work in, we are constantly adapting to new knowledge, ideas, changing environments and emerging needs. In these dynamic environments, how do we influence or lead intentional change that has the impact we hope for? In this workshop, we will explore an approach to leading inclusive, sustainable change. -
3AprThis workshop provides participants with the opportunity to both explore wellness tensions and identify ways to address them. Participants identify where tensions exist for their own roles that impact wellbeing and discuss approaches to ‘navigating’ these tensions.
