Artificial intelligence in dermatology: Bridging the gap in patient care and education.

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and clinical medicine has shown tremendous growth. The primary explanation for this application is AI's ability to integrate efficient and tailored methods for screening, using diagnostics, and enhancement of patient and medical education. AI's wide scope of utility can be seen through its ability to improve efficiency in clinical settings through scheduling, charting, diagnostics, and screening tools, ultimately allowing physicians to spend more focused time on patient care. AI has also had a tangible impact on promoting patient education through its ability to provide patients with preliminary information regarding their diagnoses before followup and to further discussion with their physician. AI's application in medical education is promising due to its ability to provide immediate and interactive feedback to the learner, which allows for meaningful reinforcement of knowledge. AI can therefore be recognized as a tool that can provide incredible enhancement in the areas of clinical medicine and education, with meaningful opportunities for integration and application.
