In this webinar, participants will learn how collaborators from Mayo Clinic and Karolinska Institutet worked together to provide an opportunity for international medical educators to learn with and from one another about generative AI while using generative AI in a supportive, inclusive environment. They leveraged experiential learning to foster digital mindsets and adaptive expertise while wrestling with non-linear, complex challenges facing medical education. More than 450 colleagues from over 30 different geographical locations registered for the event, many of whom participated in one or more of the three synchronous virtual sessions. A dynamic resource rich website was created to encourage continuous engagement and co-construction of knowledge and skills beyond the 24-hours of the event.
Hosted by the Group on Information Resources (GIR).

“Leveraging AI to Support Operational Functions”
June 25, 3-4 p.m. ET
Emerging technologies have the potential to support more than teaching and learning or clinical care, including creating efficiencies for everyday tasks, improving workflows, reducing cognitive load and weeding out redundant tasks or information. As AI is leveraged across schools, this webinar will explore how institutions are implementing AI behind the scenes to support administration, business decisions, and more.
“Artificial Intelligence and Medical School Admissions and Selection”
July 30, 3-4 p.m. ET
The use of AI in medical school admissions and residency selection is a complex and dynamic topic of significant interest to the medical education community. Given the immense care and intentionality schools rightfully invest in this area, considerable thought and evaluation of any incorporated tools must be taken. In this session, we will explore how several institutions are thinking about the impact AI may have on programs and how, or if, they might seek to utilize it. Speakers from diverse institutions and in different roles related to these processes will share learnings, summarize internal discussions, and detail initiatives underway locally and nationally.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the evolving landscape of AI integration in medical school admissions and residency selection, including the motivations, challenges, and considerations guiding institutional decisions.
- Analyze the potential impacts of AI on processes within medical education institutions, exploring both the opportunities and risks associated with its implementation.
- Evaluate various perspectives and strategies employed by different institutions and stakeholders in navigating the adoption of AI tools, fostering critical thinking and informed decision-making regarding their utilization in admissions and selection.
