Episode Synopsis

AI is reshaping assessment in health science education, providing tools for personalized, precise evaluations that help identify learner strengths and areas for improvement. While AI can enhance formative assessment, relying on it too heavily may limit the development of critical thinking and adaptability—skills essential for healthcare practice. Educators play a key role in maintaining the integrity of assessment by combining AI tools with sound instructional practices and the human connection that supports meaningful learning. This shift redefines their role—from delivering content to guiding students in navigating, analyzing, and applying information within AI-supported, team-based environments. When used with intention, AI can strengthen learning and support professional growth without compromising educational quality.
