January 2026: AAMC AI-Enhanced Medical Education Content Creation Framework

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) offers a six-step process to support medical educators in the selection and implementation of AI tools for content creation.

  1. Identify educational goal
  2. Choose content format
  3. Plan deployment
  4. Inventory and govern sources
  5. Match AI tools to task
  6. Build a “Create-Convert-Collaborate” workflow

The framework seeks to reduce confusion and uncertainty through practical guidance and decision-making structures, providing guidance on leveraging AI for teaching, assessment, and student support.

December 2025: Principles for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in and for Medical Education

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) offers seven principles for responsible use of AI in medical education. These principles reflect the dynamic nature of the AI environment and will be updated as needed. See the link below for more information on these principles.

  1. Maintain a human-centered focus
  2. Ensure ethical and transparent use
  3. Provide equal access to AI
  4. Foster education, training, and continuing professional development
  5. Develop curricula through interdisciplinary collaboration
  6. Protect data privacy
  7. Monitor and evaluate

November 2025: ETHICAL Principles AI Framework for Higher Education

The ETHICAL Principles AI Framework for Higher Education was developed by a team at California State University. The framework is meant to provide a foundation for responsible AI use in higher education that is flexible and adaptable to a diverse array of circumstances. We encourage members of the Ϲ community to become familiar with this framework, apply it to their own use of AI, and engage in conversations around responsible use of AI in health sciences education.

E – Exploration and Evaluation
T – Transparency and Accountability
H – Human-Centered Approach
I – Integrity and Academic Honesty
C – Continuous Learning and Innovation
A – Accessibility and Inclusivity
L – Legal and Ethical Compliance

October 2025: AI Competencies to Guide Medical Education

“A new Academic Medicine commentary by Alison Whelan, MD, AAMC Chief Academic Officer, and Lisa Howley, PhD, Senior Director, Transforming Medical Education, draws parallels between early skepticism of the World Wide Web and current hesitations about artificial intelligence (AI) in medical education. Concerns about misinformation, equity, and the role of educators echo debates from the 1990s, yet AI holds promise to accelerate competency-based medical education through adaptive, data-driven learning. The authors call for a national set of AI competencies to ensure learners and faculty can evaluate tools, use them ethically, and understand their societal impact. Building on this call, the AAMC – supported in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation – will launch a new effort to define AI competencies across the continuum of medical education, drawing from leading frameworks and community consensus.”

August 2025: Ϲ Guiding Principles for Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Ϲ released guiding principles for artificial intelligence use in April 2024. The principles are applicable to all faculty, staff, and students conducting Ϲ business in any of the four missions. The core of these principles is engaging in human-centered AI, with transparency being crucial to fostering open communication around AI use and decision making.

Highlights from Ϲ’s Guiding Principles:

  • In the absence of a formal contract, treat all AI tools as public.
  • Never enter protected information into a public AI model.
  • Review AI outputs for accuracy and employ responsibility in its use.
  • Cite AI outputs and use as appropriate.
  • Remember that AI is a tool and is not meant to replace human wisdom and judgement.
