Artificial intelligence in medical education: a scoping review

Abstract

This study presents a scoping review aimed at identifying, within the scientific literature, the integration of
artificial intelligence into the professional training of medical students, considering ethical implications and
effects on the doctor-patient relationship. Ten databases were consulted and, after screening conducted
by three independent reviewers of 150 initially selected documents, 16 articles composed the corpus
of analysis. The results indicate that artificial intelligence is being incorporated into medical education
in various ways, ranging from clinical simulation software to chatbots designed for data collection and
organization. However, studies also highlight relevant ethical concerns, such as the impact on the doctorpatient
relationship, the need for faculty and student preparedness, and the limits of technology in
comprehensive care. It is concluded that the integration of artificial intelligence into medical education
should occur in an ethical and critical manner, preserving the human nature of clinical practice.
