The American Medical Association (AMA) is advancing medical education through a $12 million investment to incorporate precision education across medical schools, residency programs, and continuing education for physicians. Precision education uses data systems and technology, including Augmented Intelligence (AI), to create personalized learning experiences that maximize efficiency and focus on targeted areas of development.

The AMA will fund 10 projects with at least $1.1 million each over four years through the Transforming Lifelong Learning Through Precision Education Grant Program. This initiative will empower institutions to reimagine their learning systems, improving competency development to enhance patient care.

“This important investment underscores the AMA’s commitment to advancing medical education through innovation and collaboration,” said AMA President Bruce A. Scott, MD. “By democratizing access to precision education, we’re empowering institutions of all sizes to create personalized, scalable learning journeys that meet the distinct needs of future and practicing physicians and their patients.”

Precision education enhances medical training by:

• Personalizing education based on learner performance data.
• Increasing engagement with real-time feedback.
• Allowing learners to progress at an optimal pace.

Examples include:

• AI systems analyzing data to recommend clinical skill-building resources.
• Residents receiving AI-driven insights on their clinical experiences and training progression.
• Practicing physicians accessing personalized digital content relevant to their upcoming patient panels.

“Precision education is the future of medical education,” said Sanjay Desai, MD, AMA’s chief academic officer. “With this initiative, the AMA will scale tools to foster critical competencies, helping physicians thrive in medicine and improve patient care.”

Over the last decade, the AMA’s ChangeMedEd initiative has invested more than $40 million in educational innovation. This latest program is the culmination of collaborative design efforts with national experts and smaller precision education grants that have defined the vision of personalized learning.
