Artificial Intelligence in Health Professions Education assessment: AMEE Guide No. 178.

Health Professions Education (HPE) assessment is being increasingly impacted by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and institutions, educators, and learners are grappling with AI's ever-evolving complexities, dangers, and potential. This AMEE Guide aims to assist all HPE stakeholders by helping them navigate the assessment uncertainty before them. Although the impetus is AI, the Guide grounds its path in pedagogical theory, considers the range of human responses, and then deals with assessment types, challenges, AI roles as tutor and learner, and required competencies. It then discusses the difficult and ethical issues, before ending with considerations for faculty development and the technicalities of AI acknowledgment in assessment. Through this Guide, we aim to allay fears in the face of change and demonstrate possibilities that will allow educators and learners to harness the full potential of AI in HPE assessment.
