Description
Our interdisciplinary team, librarians and educational technologists, developed a 55 minute in-person session for first-year medical students to teach about both relevant AI tools and the transferable underpinnings of traditional literature searching when identifying knowledge resources on foundational and clinical topics. Through didactic instruction and practical application, students demonstrated critical thinking and autonomy in a task requiring them to select and appraise AI tools and traditional databases. Though AI is often positioned as a substitute for one's own efforts, this session intersected AI literacy with information literacy to encourage skills of discernment and validation applicable to current and future activities.
