Director
The Shapiro Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is seeking applications for Foundations in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Education.
Medical education has undergone tremendous shifts in the past decade, not only with teaching via social media, blogs, podcasts, and streaming videos, but with the development and rollout of new artificial intelligence technologies, including large language models.
This faculty development course is designed to provide participants with a working knowledge of the role of digital education and artificial intelligence in medical education, as well as the practical technical skills necessary to succeed as a digital educator in the 21st century. It is targeted at fellows, early career, and senior faculty. No prior knowledge of digital education or AI is necessary, and no specific tech skills are necessary.

This 10-session course will be offered during the 2025-2026 academic year beginning in October 2025. Sessions will take on the second Wednesday of each month from 5:30 to 7:00 PM in person to allow for interactive small group discussions and multidisciplinary collaboration. Sessions will focus on both theoretical aspects of digital education and artificial intelligence, as well as practical aspects, and will include sessions on technical skills, prompt design, instructional design, curriculum development, and digital education/AI research. Participants will create multiple digital educational products throughout the course and will receive mentorship and coaching in asynchronously producing a digital educational project such a podcast or video. A major focus of the course will be on the transformation of daily teaching into digital education and the use of these formats to further career development and academic promotion. Participants will have the opportunity to network and collaborate with educators across multiple specialties at the medical center, as well as national experts in digital education virtually during sessions.
