Teaching internal medicine and family medicine residents to reason with generative AI: a Multi-Site randomized controlled trial (TEACH-AI)
NCT ID NCT07813754
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
The purpose of the TEACH-AI study is to assess whether a brief, structured workshop on artificial intelligence can improve the performance of medicine doctors in training (i.e. residents) in their diagnostic and management reasoning. In this multi-site randomized controlled trial, internal medicine and family medicine residents are assigned either to receive an in-person workshop on safe, effective LLM use before a standardized AI-assisted assessment, or to complete the same assessment before receiving the workshop. Residents will review clinical cases that are fully synthetic, no protected health information is used, using a password protected LLM interface.
