Innovations in Medical Education 2026 Explores the Power of AI

As medical education enters a new era, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is uniting educators, clinicians and academic leaders to explore the potential of technology.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how future physicians are taught, trained and supported. As medical education enters this new era, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is uniting educators, clinicians and academic leaders to explore what comes next.

The Innovations in Medical Education Conference (IME) 2026, hosted by the Miller School, will take place March 26–27, 2026, convening experts from across the country to examine how AI and digital innovation are transforming teaching, learning and leadership in health professions education.

Designed for faculty, administrators, instructional designers and trainees, IME 2026 will feature keynote presentations, interactive workshops and panel discussions focused on the real-world integration of AI in medical education, from curriculum design and assessment to ethical implementation and learner support.

“The goal is not to use technology for technology’s sake,” said Latha Chandran, M.D., M.P.H., M.B.A., professor of medical education and pediatrics and executive dean for education and policy at the Miller School. “At IME 2026, we will focus on how artificial intelligence can meaningfully enhance learning, support educators, and ultimately improve patient care, while remaining grounded in our values as medical professionals.”

The conference builds on the Miller School’s growing national reputation as a leader in AI-enabled medical education. In recent years, the institution has launched innovative initiatives that bring hands-on AI training into medical curricula, developed practical tools to support learners and faculty and established governance structures to ensure the responsible and ethical use of emerging technologies. These efforts reflect a broader commitment to preparing physicians not only to practice medicine, but to lead in a digitally transformed health care landscape.

“At the Miller School, we believe innovation and humanism must advance together,” Dr. Chandran said. “IME 2026 is an opportunity to learn from one another, share best practices and shape a future where technology strengthens, rather than replaces, the educator-learner relationship.”
