Welcome from the Director

AI in Medical Education
Welcome to the Office of AI in Medical Education (OAIME) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. As the landscape of healthcare rapidly evolves, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we learn, teach, and practice medicine. Our mission is to responsibly integrate AI across the medical education continuum, enhancing learning outcomes, advancing equity, and accelerating discovery.

We envision a future where precision education empowers every learner through personalized pathways, trustworthy assessments, and ethical AI use. To prepare tomorrow’s physicians, we must implement AI competencies into our curriculum, ensuring graduates are equipped to critically evaluate, ethically apply, and confidently collaborate with AI technologies in clinical care.

Our strategic framework is built on three pillars: curriculum integration, precision education, and innovation. From AI-powered simulations and ambient scribe technologies to predictive analytics and virtual patient platforms, we are transforming medical education into a dynamic, data-informed ecosystem. Faculty development, interdisciplinary research, and a commitment to transparency, safety, and equity guide every initiative.

Aligned with the AAMC’s principles for responsible AI use, OAIME fosters a culture of inquiry, integrity, and innovation. We invite students, educators, and collaborators to join us in shaping a future where AI supports the art and science of medicine to  provide compassionate care for our patients and communities.
