Abstract: The alignment of medical education and biomedical informatics innovation has the ability to develop critical thinking skills in future clinicians and researchers. The Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership (EPOL) PhD program at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) features a track in Learning Design and Leadership (LDL). This track intends to provide students with the opportunity to integrate new technologies to enhance learning environments. The Institute for Informatics (I2) is the academic home for informatics science and practice at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSM). It focuses on the data, informatics, and knowledge landscape needed to transform research, education, and patient care. The integration of UIUC’s education innovation practices with I2’s mission and vision has the opportunity to create biomedical informatics and data science technologies that can enhance learning and critical thinking skills across medical education, research, and practice. In this proposal we present a framework for partnership between UIUC and WUSM, utilizing an AI based tool to build critical thinking skills in students across the WUSM campus.
