“As we think about simulation, and how it might not be feasible for everyone to come to a place and practice in a simulation lab, how we can make those more virtually available either through augmenting with virtual reality, or other kinds of digital spaces where we can start to experiment in more team-based care.”

CAMH’s VP of Education looks ahead and considers just-for-me learning experiences and how AI and simulation may impact medical education.

In his discussion with Dr. Gratzer they touch on the following:

how to prepare clinicians to incorporate technology into their practice;the current deficiencies of medical school and residency programs in preparing students to have discussions on technology use in practice;the benefits of synchronous types of training and the example of ECHO;the potential of AI on exam writing;and what the future classroom may look like – and how it will function.
