Abstract

AI has changed the landscape of health professions education. With the hype now behind us, we find ourselves in the phase of reckoning, considering what's next; where do we start and how can educators use these powerful tools for daily teaching and learning. We recognize the great need for training to use AI meaningfully for education. Boyer's model of scholarship provides a pedagogical approach for teaching with AI and how to maximize these efforts towards scholarship. By offering practical solutions and demonstrating their usefulness, this Twelve tips article demonstrates how to apply AI towards scholarship by leveraging the capabilities of the tools. Despite their potential, our recommendation is to exercise caution against AI dependency and to role model responsible use of AI by evaluating AI outputs critically with a commitment to accuracy and scrutinize for hallucinations and false citations.
