The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine's Office of Educational Affairs, in collaboration with TEACH, is launching the Inquiry to Impact series, a new initiative that aims to enhance pedagogical competence in medical education. The series will focus on enhancements directly aligned with the school's medical education mission to develop patient-centered physicians that are systems citizens, scientist physicians, and lifelong master adaptive learners.

The first session of the series kicks off Jan. 8 and will feature an interactive virtual interview with Richard Schwartzstein, the Ellen and Melvin Gordon Professor of Medicine and Medical Education at Harvard Medical School. As a leading expert in AI and medical education, Schwartzstein will delve into current applications, challenges, and what the future may look like in this new era.

As a continuation of this session, we are hosting an in-person, interactive workshop showcasing real-world examples of AI applications in medical education and assessment, presented by VTCSOM faculty. These use cases are thoughtfully designed to inspire and equip educators with practical strategies for integrating AI into their teaching and learning practices.
