About TEACH

TEACH letter blocks, illustrated wooden blocks spelling out Teaching Educators AI Competency Hands-On

TEACH supports medical educators in creating high-quality educational materials with AI, grounded in published research and guided by safety at every step.

About TEACH

AI is increasingly part of medical education, and educators are uniquely positioned to shape how it is used. TEACH provides a structured environment, backed by research, for exploring AI tools at one's own pace, building confidence in creating educational content, and developing skills to evaluate AI output with the same rigor applied to clinical and teaching practice.

Education and AI Safety building blocks

The AI Catalyst Program

TEACH is part of the Artificial Intelligence and Education Faculty Catalyst Program, a one-year initiative supported by the Baum Family. The program brings together faculty leaders who help their peers adopt AI in educational settings with confidence and care.

The Catalyst Program provides educators with practical tools, shared knowledge, and a supportive community so that AI adoption in medical education is guided, evidence-based, and safe.

Who TEACH is For

TEACH is designed for educators of all levels and for AI users of all kinds. Content includes the basics of how large language models work and how they reason, so newcomers can build foundational understanding while experienced users can deepen their practice. Each module is self-contained, so educators can begin with the topic most relevant to their work and expand from there. The goal is to complement existing expertise with practical AI skills that apply immediately.

Timeliness of AI Literacy

The research on AI in medical education is advancing rapidly, and institutions are beginning to develop frameworks for responsible use. TEACH translates that growing evidence base into practical, guided exercises so educators can build AI skills alongside the emerging best practices and safety standards shaping the field.
