Advances in Medical Education and Practice

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medical Education" in Advances in Medical Education and Practice.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare and educational systems worldwide. Within the domain of medical education, AI has emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to enhance learning, teaching, and assessment. The integration of AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and intelligent tutoring systems, promises to reshape how medical students, clinicians, and educators interact with educational content and teaching strategies. AI has already shown promise in areas like personalized learning, simulation-based training, predictive analytics for performance evaluation, and administrative automation. As the future of medical practice becomes increasingly tech-driven, it is critical to explore how AI can both augment and redefine the landscape of medical education.

AI's integration into medical education is a timely and vital development. The global healthcare system is experiencing an urgent need for more skilled professionals, with a growing demand for more efficient, scalable, and personalized learning methods. AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to address these needs by facilitating adaptive learning environments that respond to individual learners' strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, AI can help overcome challenges such as faculty shortages and time constraints, making high-quality medical education more accessible across diverse geographic regions. Additionally, AI can support more objective assessments, enhance the accuracy of feedback, and help educators make data-driven decisions that improve student outcomes. As AI continues to evolve, its potential to enrich medical education and improve healthcare delivery grows, making this an essential area of exploration for academic scholarship.

This Article Collection will focus on the application and potential of AI in medical education, with a particular emphasis on both theoretical and practical aspects. Subtopics include, but are not limited to:

• AI-driven Personalized Learning: Exploring how AI can tailor educational content to individual student needs, improving engagement and retention.
• Simulation and Virtual Reality: The role of AI in creating realistic, immersive environments for clinical training and skill development.
• AI in Assessment and Feedback: How AI can enhance formative and summative assessments, provide real-time feedback, and assist with competency tracking.
• Ethical and Practical Challenges: Examining issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the implications of AI on teaching roles.
• Future Trends and Innovations: Investigating upcoming AI technologies and their potential applications in evolving medical education paradigms.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Future in Health Professions Education: Innovative Teaching Alternatives" in Advances in Medical Education and Practice.

The adoption of updated and innovative teaching methodologies, such as problem-based learning, 3D virtual simulations, augmented reality, and gamification, is increasingly recognized as essential for meeting the educational needs of today's students. These tools enable a pedagogical approach that supports the development of critical competencies - basic, transversal, and specific - required for the future careers of health professionals. In medicine and health sciences, the acquisition of these competencies spans knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. These elements must be integrated and applied at various stages of medical education and practice to prepare students for the evolving demands of the healthcare field.

As higher education faces a rapidly changing world and a new generation of students with diverse learning preferences, health professions education must embrace innovative and adaptive approaches. The training of future healthcare professionals must move beyond traditional lecture-based methods, which, while valuable, may not fully equip students with the practical skills, critical thinking, and interpersonal competencies necessary for high-quality care. Novel pedagogical approaches, including gamification, game-based learning, simulations, and virtual reality, offer opportunities to foster active, collaborative learning environments that focus on comprehensive competency development.

This Article Collection aims to explore innovative teaching strategies in health professions education. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Assessment of knowledge, skills, and competencies in medicine and health sciences
• Quantitative and qualitative research on student and professional education in medical and health sciences
• The use and impact of educational technology and innovations on learning outcomes
• Applications of health sciences education in undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education, as well as clinical training

All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo full peer-review; Guest Advisors will not be handling submitted articles. Please review the journal’s aims and scope and author instructions prior to submission.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Innovations and Impact: The Role of Ultrasound in Undergraduate Medical Education" in Advances in Medical Education and Practice.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming clinical practice across numerous medical specialties, and its integration into undergraduate medical education has gained increasing attention in recent years. Ultrasound offers a dynamic, visual, and interactive modality for teaching anatomy, physiology, clinical reasoning, and procedural skills. Medical schools worldwide are recognizing its pedagogical value and are piloting curricular innovations that bring ultrasound training to students early in their careers. This Article Collection aims to highlight current advances, practical implementations, and educational outcomes related to ultrasound-based teaching in undergraduate medical training.

Early exposure to ultrasound not only enhances the learning of foundational sciences but also supports competency-based education by fostering clinical decision-making, spatial reasoning, and diagnostic acumen. As educational institutions respond to technological advances and evolving healthcare demands, equipping students with ultrasound skills has become both feasible and essential. Moreover, the inclusion of ultrasound aligns with modern strategies for active, student-centered learning. Despite growing enthusiasm, challenges remain - including curricular integration, faculty training, resource availability, and assessment. Sharing successful strategies and rigorous evaluations is critical to advancing the field.

This Collection invites original research, systematic reviews, short reports, commentaries, and case studies that explore ultrasound in the context of undergraduate medical education. Potential subtopics include curriculum development, faculty development, interprofessional education, assessment strategies, student outcomes, and the role of simulation. Submissions may also address institutional frameworks, technology adoption, and longitudinal program evaluations. We especially welcome articles that demonstrate measurable educational impact, novel pedagogical models, or interdisciplinary collaboration. All contributions should be aligned with the journal’s mission to advance research and best practices in medical education.

All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo full peer-review; Guest Advisors will not be handling submitted articles. Please review the journal’s aims and scope and author instructions prior to submission.

Please submit your manuscript through the Dovepress website. During submission, enter the promo code D7645 to indicate that your article should be considered for this Collection.

The manuscript submission deadline is 31 March 2026.
