Training in the Field of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities in Health Science Education
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Introduction: Artificial intelligence in higher education teacher training has become an imperative that challenges teachers to update themselves to be able to use this tool to generate knowledge for their students. Method: A systematic review was conducted in databases such as PUBMED, Cochrane Central Library, CINAHL, and SCIENCE DIRECT, using keywords like "health sciences," "artificial intelligence," and "teaching" during the period 2018-2024, following the PRISMA checklist. Results: Studies predominantly originated from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the USA, especially involving nursing and medical students. The most notable opportunities of AI include the relationship between ethics and technology, the training of academic tutors, and its contribution to professional education, clinical case management, literature searches, and student learning. However, challenges were identified, such as uncertainty about employability, limited funding for training, and the acquisition of licenses. Additionally, there is a need to promote responsible use of AI to avoid diminishing empathy and humanization in patient care. Conclusion: AI is a valuable ally in health sciences education, but ethical considerations and teacher training must be taken into account for responsible use, as well as fostering critical and reflective thinking in its implementation.
