Preparing the Neurology Workforce for an AI-Integrated Future: Elisabeth Marsh, MD

WATCH TIME: 4 minutes

"AI gives us this amazing opportunity to make medicine more efficient and personalized—whether it's helping doctors with notes or helping learners with education. But with that power comes the responsibility to guide its use thoughtfully, ethically, and with clear oversight."

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping neurology education by offering adaptive learning platforms, virtual patient simulations, and automated assessment tools. These technologies have potential to personalize training experiences, helping learners identify knowledge gaps and master complex topics more efficiently. AI-driven simulators also allows trainees to practice diagnostic and treatment decisions in realistic, risk-free environments.

The topic of AI in neurology education will be discussed in further detail at the 2025 American Neurological Association (ANA) and Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) meetings, held September 13^th and 14^th, respectively, later this year. The AUPN-ANA Program and Clerkship Directors Session will feature a greater talk on leveraging AI to enhance clinical care and medical education, followed by a roundtable discussion amongst neurology chairs the lifecycle of a chair.

One of the moderators of the AI session, Elisabeth Marsh, MD, sat down with NeurologyLive^® before the meeting to give insights on the session, and why clinicians should attend. Marsh, an associate professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins, explained how AI is becoming an essential tool in clinical practice, supporting tasks like note writing and prior authorizations to free up clinician time. From an educational perspective, she discussed how AI can personalize learning for trainees and raised critical questions around proper usage, academic integrity, and the evolving skill set of required of future neurologists.
