As AI technology advances, we must further reflect on where doctors’ core value truly lies—and how to cultivate doctors centered around this core value, while simultaneously reducing their reliance on vast amounts of factual and procedural knowledge during learning and practice.
As AI technology advances, we must further reflect on where doctors’ core value truly lies—and how to cultivate doctors centered around this core value, while simultaneously reducing their reliance on vast amounts of factual and procedural knowledge during learning and practice. This is precisely the question of “how to help doctors become better doctors while learning less”—an application direction of “teach less, learn more” conceptual learning. The answer, therefore, lies in shifting the focus of medical training toward cultivating doctors’ core value—i.e., high-level conceptual knowledge—and delegating low-level knowledge and skills to AI systems, surgical robots, and other technological aids.
To achieve this goal, in this project we collaborate with frontline physicians to identify and analyze representative clinical cases—and the high-level knowledge underlying those cases.
Regarding epidural hematoma—including its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment—we have constructed the following concept map. In the future, we will create a dedicated concept entry titled “Epidural Hematoma,” along with supporting entries that explain and elaborate upon this central concept.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of this concept map and its accompanying textual explanations for knowledge acquisition: i.e., whether a novice can learn this knowledge more efficiently using these materials. Ideally, a comparative study should be conducted against traditional learning materials used in formal education. For initial exploration, however, informal individual user feedback may suffice.
- Effectiveness of including only relatively low-level knowledge for learning relatively low-level knowledge;
- Effectiveness of including high-level knowledge for learning relatively low-level knowledge;
- Effectiveness of including high-level knowledge for learning both relatively low-level and high-level knowledge.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of this concept map and its accompanying textual explanations for knowledge application: i.e., whether clinicians who have previously studied or been exposed to this topic can re-activate and apply the knowledge more effectively in practice using this map-and-text approach, compared to conventional learning materials or clinical guidelines.
- Further uncover the tacit knowledge (e.g., experience, intuition) embedded behind this map—and identify additional concepts requiring refinement.
- Annotate relevant research papers, clinical guidelines, and other resources onto corresponding concepts or relational links within the map—thereby transforming the map into a knowledge resource organizer.
- Develop more case examples; from them, extract generalizable high-level medical knowledge, clarify doctors’ core value, and conduct further evaluation of learning and application effectiveness.
- Integrate diagnostic big data with this concept network—can we build a better AI-assisted diagnostic system?
