TY - JOUR T1 - Shooting from the hip into our own foot? A perspective on how artificial intelligence may disrupt medical training JF - Future Healthcare Journal JO - Future Healthc J SP - e7 LP - e8 DO - 10.7861/fhj.Let-7-2-4 VL - 7 IS - 2 AU - Anmol Arora Y1 - 2020/06/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/7/2/e7.2.abstract N2 - Editor – I have enjoyed reading articles in the Future Healthcare Journal and wider medical literature about the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to positively transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. Recent articles have highlighted prospects of AI reducing administrative burdens, improving diagnostic accuracy and working synergistically with robotic technologies.1,2 However, risks and uncertainties surrounding AI warrant a cautious approach to its implementation. One commonly overlooked risk is disruption to medical training, which fundamentally relies on experiential learning to refine decision making and improve situational judgement. Medical school and early education focuses on knowledge acquisition, which is essential but not by itself sufficient to prepare a doctor for clinical practice. Following graduation … ER -
