Generative AI for the Medical Student
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
9783032016126 (ISBN)
This book provides medical students with a practical, non-technical roadmap for understanding, applying, and leading generative AI in clinical practice. Despite explosive interest in AI, there is no accessible, clinically focused primer tailored to medical students without programming backgrounds. Educators and students need a resource that translates theory into actionable skills, crafting effective prompts, interpreting AI outputs, embedding tools into workflows, and upholding ethical and legal standards. By filling this gap, the book equips future physicians to use AI confidently and safely at the bedside and in documentation, lead pilot projects and quality-improvement initiatives, navigate certification, research, and career development in digital health. In short, it transforms generative AI from a black-box novelty into a dependable clinical partner, fulfilling a critical educational need at the intersection of medicine and technology.
The text begins by demystifying core AI concepts, transformers, self-attention, NLP, CNNs, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. It then moves through hands-on chapters on securing stakeholder buy-in, prompt engineering, error management, and quality-improvement cycles. A capstone AI Journal Club and simulation exercises reinforce learning in real-world vignettes, while later chapters guide students through ethics, research, collaboration, career pathways, and a SMART-goal driven lifelong learning plan.
This is an ideal guide for all medical students interested in integrating generative AI into their career.
Campion Quinn, MD, FACP, MHA, is a physician-educator and health-care leader whose career bridges clinical practice, academia, and medical innovation. Board-certified in four specialties and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, he earned his MHA with a focus on health-care management and finance. As an Associate Professor of Medicine at the State University of New York, Dr. Quinn has guided medical students through complex diagnostic and treatment challenges. He has authored numerous journal articles and textbooks on clinical decision-making, medicolegal issues, and health-system management, and has published three other books on the use of AI in medicine. In industry roles at Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, and DBV Pharmaceuticals, he built educational programs and forged partnerships with key opinion leaders. Dr. Quinn later served as Medical Director and Chief Medical Officer for managed-care organizations, including GHI, USI Care Management, and Vytra Healthcare. Today, he consults independently with pharmaceutical and medical-education firms. His forthcoming textbook, Generative AI for Medical Students, equips medical students with practical skills in generative AI, transforming tomorrow's clinicians into confident, tech-savvy practitioners.
