Co-Occurrence #1 – Visual Generative AI in Medical Education: The Promise and Challenges (EP.24)
With Carlo Alberto Mazzoli, M.D. & Federico Semeraro, M.D.

Can visual generative AI open new avenues for medical education? Can it offer quick, accurate, valid, and creative visualizations that educators can adapt and use for their curriculums?  If not, then how and when? In this episode, Dr. Federico Semeraro and Dr. Carlo Alberto Mazzoli join host Stacy Craft to explore the transformative potential of AI-driven visuals in enhancing the learning experience for medical and health education. While unpacking the promise and potential applications, Dr. Semeraro and Dr. Mazzoli also share their unique insights and direct experience with the challenges, ethical considerations, and possible solutions for the future.

This episode is Part One of our limited series, “Co-Occurrence,” featuring conversations exploring AI and related technologies as well as possible, probably and actual impacts on education. From discussions around what we know, what we hope for, and what is happening concretely today – this limited series will give you some things to ponder and actionable takeaways.
