Artificial Intelligence and Academic Medicine
The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly evolving. Advances in this technology have led to new opportunities as well as questions and challenges around best practices and ethical use.
Medical schools and academic health systems across the country are making concerted efforts to integrate AI into education, clinical delivery and practice, and biomedical research. The AAMC is supporting its member institutions as they determine their individual approaches to this new technology, in navigating the initiation, planning, and implementation of any AI tools, and in monitoring the policy and regulatory environment.
Below is an overview of the AAMC’s work as well as opportunities for you to connect with your peers, share your experiences, and learn from experts.

Admissions & Selection
AI in Admissions & Selection Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
Convened in 2024, this TAC is tasked with developing a framework for AAMC member institutions for the ethical use of AI in the undergraduate and graduate medical education admissions and selection processes.
Clinical Care
Digital Health and AI Learning Collaborative
In 2024, the AAMC launched the third year of this collaborative with Manatt Health. The collaborative convenes 24 academic health systems across the country to share strategies, challenges, and lessons learned regarding opportunities and methodologies for integrating digital health and AI into everyday clinical care and operations.
Health Equity
Polling Snapshot: Artificial Intelligence
In August 2023, the AAMC Center for Health Justice conducted a national poll of U.S. adults to learn about their attitudes towards the growing use of AI in their daily lives. The data collected address Americans' familiarity with AI, their views on AI and racial inequality, and their hopes for AI's future.
Foundations of Responsible NLP Use for Maternal Health Equity
These foundations are meant to guide those who use natural language processing (NLP) as a research tool and/or as part of clinical decision support. They were distilled from input received during the May 2023 Maternal Health Equity Workshop and a complementary survey of women and birthing people.
