Abstract

Abstract:

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has made educational reform both imminent and necessary. The traditional knowledge-centered teaching model needs to transition to one that focuses on nurturing students' critical thinking and creativity. Critical thinking is not only an important skillset, but also a mindset that can be acquired through training and inspiration. Medicine, with its ultimate goal of safeguarding human health, necessitates a reform in teaching philosophy, methods, and approaches to provide a free, equal, and inclusive educational environment. This environment enables medical students to acquire critical thinking abilities to pose, analyze, and solve problems, thereby advancing the field of medicine in the AI era.

Key words: Critical thinking, Artificial intelligence, Medical education
