#3 AI in medical education—another grand challenge for medical informatics

I finally found an article about the application of AI in medical education. The article also mentioned that although AI is used in many fields of education, there is little interest in medical education.

The article notes that health care workers achieve their potential when they feel safe about what they are doing; They understand their environment; Their jobs are becoming more complex; They can participate in the decision-making process; They learn from their own experiences. In other words: job satisfaction and self-esteem increase with knowledge, skills, and job performance, and vice versa.
The idea of computer-based applications as an aid to educating and training medical staff is not new. However, as the references point out, the methods traditionally used to implement these applications do not support the mechanisms needed to address individual differences and the complexity of medical problem solving and decision making. A solid foundation in cognitive science and artificial intelligence is needed to meet the needs of effective computer medicine education and training.

Throughout the paper, we have touched upon the common interests of at least three different research fields: objectives; Artificial intelligence in education; Computer education in traditional medicine. So far, these disciplines have not merged to work together for the benefit of health care.
Although there are a lot of difficulties in medical education research but if more of the attention of the medical education research, medical informatics, AI [and medical education computer. AI has the potential to provide a solution: “to solve the effectiveness of medical education and the needs of the correlation between”; “while reduce the medical cost, improve medical quality and service quality”, “to prove that the positive influence on health care”; “it into the education and the power of the informatics”. Through the AIME medical (AI) of aim, the author thinks that the AI in medicine actual success would eventually be able to achieve it.

This article has strengthened my confidence in the application of AI in the field of education. Even such a complex subject as medicine can provide help and solutions, let alone its application in other disciplines.
