Abstract: Medical education, as a critical intersection of the national strategies of “Healthy China” and “Educational Power” is experiencing an irreversible trend of integration with artificial intelligence (AI). Reflecting on the past, it is evident that AI empowerment in higher medical education has become an inevitable trend. At present, AI demonstrates immense potential in reshaping ecosystem of medical education.The role of teachers is shifting from “guardians of knowledge” to “learning choreographers”, which is reshaping a new paradigm for medical education. AI is transforming medical learning concepts and models, creating an intelligent future medical education environment and reshaping new forms of student learning. AI demonstrates unique advantages in clinical skills assessment and academic performance analysis, reconstructing a new model for medical evaluations. However, the accompanying challenges and limitations in knowledge production and dissemination cannot be overlooked. Looking to the future, the development of AI in medical education is poised to advance around the themes of ″Integration, Intelligence and International″, and combines the characteristics of medical education to propose the initiation of an action plan for AI-powered medical education, actively promoting profound changes and strategic transformation enabled by medical education. Medical educators should leverage the leading role of AI while adhering to the inherent principles of education and the fundamental attributes of nurturing individuals, thereby promoting innovation and transformation in medical education to meet the opportunities and challenges of the new era.
