The Disruptive Impact of Agentic AI on Medical Schools
Description
As artificial intelligence evolves from a supportive tool to an autonomous agent, the foundations of medical education face a seismic shift. In this THMT Podcast episode, we explore how agentic AI systems - capable of independent decision making, reasoning, and adaptive learning, is transforming how future physicians are trained, assessed, and accredited. What happens when core disciplines like pathology, radiology, and diagnostics become largely automated? How do we redefine the educator’s role, ensure equity in access, and prepare clinicians for a future where human judgment and machine intelligence must seamlessly coexist? Join distinguished guests as they unpack the challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of medical education.
