Annotation -
Artificial Intelligence for Medicine is student-centered course designed for 3rd-5th year medical students. The course introduces artificial intelligence as a practical clinical support tool rather than a mathematical or technical subject. Students will explore how AI is used in diagnosis, medical imaging, clinical reasoning, documentation, patient communication, ethics, privacy, and healthcare systems. The course is highly interactive and based on real medical scenarios, group discussions, role play, case analysis, debates, and practical critique of AI-generated outputs. Students will learn how to use AI safely and responsibly, recognize its limitations, identify potential errors and bias, and understand the importance of human clinical judgment. Special emphasis is placed on patient safety, confidentiality, ethical responsibility, and communication with patients. By the end of the course, students should be able to critically evaluate AI tools in medicine, use AI to support learning and clinical reasoning, explain AI-supported care to patients, and understand that the final responsibility for clinical decisions remains with the physician.

Syllabus -

Syllabus: Artificial Intelligence for Medicine

Seminar 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Students are introduced to the basic idea of artificial intelligence and its current role in healthcare. The session focuses on what AI can and cannot do, using simple clinical examples rather than technical explanations.

Seminar 2: AI and Clinical Reasoning

This topic explores how AI can support differential diagnosis, clinical thinking, and decision-making. Students learn to compare their own reasoning with AI-generated suggestions and identify possible mistakes or omissions.

Seminar 3: AI in Diagnostics, Imaging, ECG, and Pathology

Students examine how AI is used in radiology, pathology, dermatology, cardiology, and other diagnostic fields. The focus is on clinical interpretation, false positives, false negatives, and the need for physician supervision.

Seminar 4: Generative AI for Medical Learning and Communication

This session focuses on tools such as chatbots and large language models. Students learn how AI can support studying, patient explanations, summarizing information, preparing for clinical cases, and practising communication skills.

Seminar 5: Ethics, Bias, Privacy, and Patient Safety

Students discuss the ethical challenges of AI in medicine, including bias, inequality, confidentiality, consent, accountability, and patient trust. The session emphasizes safe and responsible use of AI in clinical environments.

Seminar 6: AI in Clinical Workflow and Healthcare Systems

This topic covers how AI may support documentation, discharge summaries, triage, hospital workflow, public health, and administrative tasks. Students evaluate where AI may improve efficiency and where it may create risks.

Seminar 7: Practical Application and Final Case-Based Seminar

Students apply what they have learned through clinical cases, group discussion, role play, and evaluation of AI tools. The final session focuses on safe, critical, and patient-centered use of AI in real medical practice.
