Artificial intelligence (AI) represents an opportunity for medical education to enhance efficiency, interactivity, and realism in learning scenarios. This project uses it to identify angles we have not considered before, particularly in creating culturally sensitive educational cases that represent the needs of a diverse patient population. The implementation showed encouraging results, as the ChatGPT algorithm was successful in writing cases that are more culturally sensitive; however, iteration for refinement was needed.

In this paper, we propose Micro-Scholarship as a new and innovative approach to begin the scholarship journey for Scholarship in Health Professions Education. We introduce Micro-Scholarship as both an outcome and process, with the iterative and progressive development of a variety of micro-assets that can be combined and counted as 'traditional' Scholarship. We highlight the core components and processes that are enabled by a variety of digital technologies and supported by engagement with a community of practice.

Article Synopsis
  • Before 1910, medical education relied on a master-apprentice model, emphasizing hands-on clinical skills.
  • In 1910, Abraham Flexner's report recommended university-based medical schools with a focus on scientific foundations for medical practice, leading to a structured two-phase education system: pre-clinical and clinical.
  • This two-pillar model, combining basic and clinical sciences, has shaped medical education for decades and must now adapt to evolving healthcare practices and environments.

Effective e-learning has additional factors that require specific critical attention, including the design and delivery of e-learning. An important aspect is the recognition that e-learning is a complex intervention, with several interconnecting components that have to be aligned.
