Welcome to another episode of The AI-Ready Doctor. In this episode, host Dr. Hassan Bencheqroun sits down with his guest and student, Aditi Chitre, to dive into the transformative role of artificial intelligence in medical education. From personal stories about AI “hallucinations” to innovative initiatives at UC Riverside, their conversation explores how generative AI and custom GPTs are reshaping case-based learning for future physicians.They share thoughtful perspectives on skepticism, responsible AI use, and the importance of community, especially for a generation shaped by rapid technological change and the pandemic. Together, they unpack real-world challenges and lessons from integrating AI into their study routines, including chatbots designed to nudge students toward clinical reasoning instead of simply handing over answers.Touching on topics ranging from AI companions and mental health apps to balancing life as a medical student and marathon runner, this episode challenges the myth that students turn to AI just to cheat. Instead, it reveals how today’s learners are building healthier, more productive relationships with technology and with each other.Join us as we explore how the next generation of doctors is becoming truly AI-ready: embracing innovation while staying grounded in what it means to be human.00:00 Case-Based Learning in Medicine03:23 "AI-Powered Learning Support Chatbot"09:22 "AI Empowering Global Learning"12:44 "AI Builds My Running Plan"14:16 AI's Role in Medical Education19:25 AI Apps for Support & Moderation22:12 "Tailored Tools for Efficient Studying"23:52 "My Instance: Speaking to AI"27:49 "Balancing Boards and Life"https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbmedicalai/https://drbmedicalai.com/med-ai-academy/https://aireadydoctor.com/https://www.tophealth.care/“Disclaimer: Informational only.
