How ISMAI 2026 covers this

How ISMAI 2026 approaches this theme

The Florence symposium considers education as central to responsible medical AI, not as a downstream concern.

Sessions look at AI literacy for clinicians and trainees, curriculum design, continuing professional development and the shape of professional formation in an AI-supported clinical environment.

Discussion connects education with clinical judgement so that AI-enabled practice remains grounded in the responsibilities of the doctor.

Relevant programme session
