Rapid Review: AI Education in US Health Professions Programs Growing, But Evidence Base Remains Early

A rapid scoping review of 36 studies (2019–2026) finds AI education in US health professions programs growing but lacking robust evaluation. Most evidence is from surveys and reviews; radiology leads implementations. Curricula have no demonstrated link to clinical outcomes.

• Design: Rapid scoping review of 36 peer-reviewed papers (2019–2026) on AI integration in health professions degree education.
• Multi-institutional evaluations and longitudinal follow-up are rare; calls for competency-based curricula and governance are growing, but evidence is weak.
• Limitation: Literature is skewed toward reviews and surveys; few studies objectively measure impact on clinical performance or patient outcomes.
