In the early April, I had the opportunity to visit KYOTO KAGAKU, a leading Japanese company with a long history of manufacturing phantoms, manikins and patient simulators. It turned out to be an extremely interesting and productive visit. At the Tokyo office (with Takao Kinouchi) and the company’s headquarters (with Joji Araki and Yoko Endo), we engaged in fascinating discussions about the future development of simulation methodology in medical education.
In addition to visiting the production facilities at the Kyoto Kagaku factory, the highlight of the trip was touring the exhibits at the corporate museum of the company, which was founded way back in 1948. For me — the curator of the EuroMedSim Museum of Medicine (https://medicine.museum) — the opportunity to immerse myself in the history of simulation was particularly valuable.
These meetings would not have been possible without the kind assistance of the European office — Kyoto Kagaku Europe GmbH — in organizing them (many thanks to Masahiro Wasa and Olga Koehlich).

Our latest pilot study on the capabilities of AI in creating and evaluating simulated clinical scenarios has led to some interesting conclusions. First, when given clear and detailed instructions, generative AI systems can create simulated clinical scenarios that are just as good as those created by humans (as objectively assessed by experts). Also, human experts couldn't always tell the difference between scenarios created by AI and texts written by humans. But what the researchers didn't expect was that AI, when looking at several scenarios written by different AI systems and humans, gave itself a disproportionately high rating. AI turned out to be biased!

The is about to start. Tomorrow, this hall's going to be packed with thousands of medical simulation experts. Looking forward to meeting colleagues and friends.

I am pleased to share my impressions of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Simulation Training in Medicine: Problems, Solutions, Prospects” held at the Andijan State Medical Institute. In addition to a presentation on the prospects for using in medical education given at the plenary session at the opening of the conference, a three-hour master class was held, where teachers and master's students of the institute discussed the practical aspects of applying generative AI, as well as customized AI-based in medical education, as well as in the curriculum of clinical disciplines, in particular, by collecting complaints, medical history, and conducting structured debriefing.

The two-day AI symposium has come to an end. Four pages of notes written in small handwriting are a testament to how informative the event was — and by the way, I really enjoyed writing by hand — old-school skill! Many thanks to the speakers and organisers! , ,

AI Symposium - two days of discussions on using AI in medical education. Just started in Barcelona. Happy to share a table with Barry Issenberg at the sessions.
