Reconciling how clinical reasoning is learned in the age of artificial intelligence.

Two recent studies examine the role of AI in supporting medical students’ learning – a longitudinal study of self-reported outcomes from supervised real-world AI use, and a simulated experiment comparing the benefits of AI explanations against the risks of plausible misinformation. Collectively, their findings demonstrate that the effects of AI may depend on the individual and educational environment, which has implications for how we design medical curricula and define clinical competence.
