The Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing EMS Education

The presentation will discuss the transformative potential of integrating digital technologies, particularly real patient videos and artificial intelligence (AI), into Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training. Real patient videos can provide EMS students with an authentic, engaging, and flexible learning experience. These videos show actual patient encounters, complete with demographic details, medical history, and outcomes, enhancing students' clinical reasoning skills and engagement. When artificial intelligence is added to the picture, it shows great promise for enriching EMS education by simulating interactive patient interviews and decision-making. Using the information from real patient cases as discussed above, AI can act as both the patient and an instructor, providing realistic scenarios and immediate feedback. This innovation has the capacity to prepare students for the diversity of patients, conditions, and scenarios that they will encounter, all while maintaining authenticity and providing flexibility. The presentation will propose a framework for incorporating real patient cases compounded with the endless possibilities of AI into EMS curricula for maximum benefit. In sum, blending traditional teaching methods with digital innovations like real patient videos and AI offers a promising future for EMS education, leading to better-prepared professionals and ultimately, superior patient care.
