Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept but a current reality in higher education and healthcare. From adaptive learning platforms to clinical decision support systems, AI is reshaping how educators teach, assess, and support learners. For health professions education, where accuracy, ethics, and interprofessional collaboration are paramount, the integration of AI offers both opportunities and challenges. Because of its rapid growth, many institutions have already begun publishing their own AI guidelines that are varied between institutions. This 90-minute interactive focus session will provide an opportunity for diverse health profession educators to engage in collaborative dialogue about the responsible integration of AI into education.

Using TBL format, participants will prepare in advance by reviewing their own and institution guideline of AI usage along with a short preparatory material will be provided a week prior to the session. During the session, they will complete individual and team readiness assurance tests (iRAT & tRAT) to consolidate their understanding and set the stage for deeper engagement.

The application phase of the session will include two collaborative tasks. Teams will first identify themes in educators’ current or potential use of AI, noting opportunities and reservations, then engage in inter-team dialogue to compare perspectives. Next, teams will draft and prioritize elements for a “Guideline on the Use of AI in Teaching,” negotiating similarities and differences to create a shared interprofessional framework.

By the end of the session, participants will have critically reflected on their own practice, learned from colleagues across disciplines, and co-created a guideline that can serve as a practical, foundation to inform or supplement institutional policies.

Learning Outcomes

1. Analyze in teams the rationale for using or not using AI in health professions education, drawing on personal and interprofessional perspectives.
2. Identify in teams the common themes, benefits, challenges surrounding AI integration in education.
3. Collaboratively develop a structured set of guiding principles for the responsible use of AI in educational practice.
4. Prioritize in teams the key elements of an AI guideline according to importance and relevance within health professions education.
