Picture this: you are a first-year medical student preparing for a major exam, beginning to see why medical learning can feel like “drinking from a fire hose” – the volume of material can be overwhelming! But then you wonder: could artificial intelligence (AI) help you funnel that water into manageable buckets? Imagine an AI tool that organizes your scattered class notes and lectures into personalized flashcards, targeting your strengths and weaknesses.
Now, consider being a third-year medical student on clinical rotations, receiving written evaluations of your performance. Amidst paragraphs describing your clinical strengths and suggestions for improvement, you wonder if there are common themes across your evaluators’ comments. Could AI distill recurring themes into clear bullet points, helping you focus and improve on the wards?
